A Wakuden Dish Born from a Long Dedication to Lotus Root Confections Wakuden has long been crafting confections using lotus root. Represented by items like 'Seiko' and 'Hasumochi,' their soft texture and clear, refined flavor are hallmarks of Wakuden's sweets. The new 'Renkon Mochi' is a dish born from this long history of craftsmanship. We offer this dish exclusively in our tea room, featuring a texture that melts softly and a delicate, lingering finish. 〈Sakaimachi Store Tea Room Exclusive〉 Renkon Mochi
