Thought of the Founder

We are committed to making rice cakes and confections with our ingenuity and creativity.

1948. Chuichi Endo, with his wife, Kin, and other family members, founded the Endo Mochi Shop in Katahira, in the heart of Sendai City. He opened his business with the hope of "serving delicious food to those who were wounded in the war," but soon after the war, there were no sufficient supplies, so he had a lot of trouble. Through repeated trial and error, we have developed a lot of originality and ingenuity, and now we handle rice cakes, daifuku, dandelions and suiyokan. Until just before he passed away in 2004, he demonstrated a vigorous spirit of development, devising new recipes to please customers even when he was ill. "To make delicious rice cakes with sincerity and sincerity, without thinking of making a profit. We are dedicated to making safe and delicious confections with a commitment to "making the real thing with good ingredients". This spirit has been firmly carried on to the present day.

Commitment to making rice cakes

  • 手づくりイメージ

    Handmade

    with all one's heart and soul

    The "Ohagi" is steamed twice in a steamer so that it does not become hard even when it is cold. The rice cakes are made with a pestle and a mochi pounding machine for a second time, making them finely elastic and chewy. Each piece is cut by hand by a craftsman. The time of steaming and the strength of steam are subtly adjusted according to the season and the temperature when making red bean jam such as zunda. In order to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients, we carefully make our products by hand.

    Selected ingredients.

    Reliable products from Miyagi

    Zunda is made from "Hiden-Beans (secret beans)" and "Aodaizu (blue soybeans)" grown by contract farmers in Miyagi Prefecture. The rice cakes are made from "Miyakogane", the highest grade of glutinous rice from Miyagi Prefecture. "Ichigo Daihuku" (Strawberry Daifuku) is made from "Watari strawberries". The secret of its deliciousness lies in the selection of ingredients, such as "pastured milk" from the Iide Nagameyama Farm in Yamagata Prefecture, red beans from Hokkaido that determine the taste of the bean jam, and brown sugar from Hateruma, Okinawa, which is used in the dough for the buns.

Ishinomaki City, with its fertile land nurtured by the Kitakami River and Naruse River, is one of the best rice producing areas in Miyagi Prefecture. Good soil is essential for delicious glutinous rice. What we pay attention to is the soil preparation. We use organic fertilizers, mainly cow compost, to make the soil, and strive to grow rice without using pesticides as much as possible. You can eat it with peace of mind because it is a rice with less agricultural chemicals. Miyakogane, the king of glutinous rice, has an elegant sweetness and aroma, and is well-liked for its stickiness and firmness.

Greetings from the owner

We value "sincerity, love, and kindness"
to deliver the taste that is nurtured
in Sendai and Miyamachi.

It has been about 74 years since Chuichi Endo, the founder of the company, founded the company in Sendai. We have spent most of our time in Miyamachi, the town in front of the Sendai Toshogu Shrine. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued patronage. My father, who was stubborn and single-minded, said, "Instead of making a profit, never forget to be grateful and work carefully and deliciously," and continued to be creative and devote himself to making rice cakes. With the enterprising spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation, new products such as "Mochiya no Milk Purin (Milk pudding made by a rice cake shop)", "Amazake Blanc manger ("Blanc manger' with sweet sake)" and "Sendai Mochi Kintoki (sweet potato with rice cake)" have been born. In the spirit of our company motto, "Sincerity, Affection, and Kindness," we will continue to strive to make sweets for the coming era, while keeping the spirit of creation in mind.
