The Usui Pass has been known as a strategic point along the Nakasendo Highway since the Manyo Period (710-794).
It is said that chikurimochi was served to passers-by at teahouses along the mountain pass.
The combination of mochi and sweet red bean paste made from Hokkaido azuki beans is a perfect match.
