This is a traditional dessert in Kagoshima.
This dessert is called Jumbo Mochi.
It is sticky but sweet!
If you eat it with a cup of green tea, it is very delicious!
Long time a go, Samurai had 2 swords at their waist.
2 chopsticks symbolizes swords of worriers in Kagoshima.
When Samurai went outside for hunting animals, they used to eat this rice cake as a snack.
