Hakata Ward, Fukuoka. "Kushida no Yakimochi" served at "Kushida Chaya" next to Kushida Shrine

You can eat "Kushida no Yakimochi" at "Kushida Chaya" located next to "Kushida Shrine", the guardian deity of Hakata. "Kushida Shrine" is a shrine that is affectionately nicknamed "O-Kushida-san" and even has its name on a subway station. The shop says "Hakata specialty". The mochi, which costs 150 yen each, is similar to "Umegae-mochi" from Dazaifu, a Fukuoka food. Hand-baked in a mold. The carefully baked mochi is crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It goes perfectly with the bean paste inside. You can easily order from just one at this shop 😊 The shop does not have tables, but it does have benches. This is a Hakata Old Town sweet that we recommend as a break from sightseeing or walking. Business hours are Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 5pm.
