Umegae mochi is a grilled rice cake stamped with a plum-blossom mark, filled with red bean paste. The Dazaifu pilgrimage souvenir, grilled to order at Kasanoya and a row of stalls since 1922.
Umegae mochi traces to the 10th-century cult of Sugawara no Michizane, the scholar god enshrined at Dazaifu Tenmangu. The plum-mark grilled rice cake is the pilgrimage road's signature, with Kasanoya as the dominant operator since 1922. Glutinous and non-glutinous rice flours form the wrapper, with sweet azuki paste inside; the cake is grilled to order on a heavy iron press. Today around eight stalls run umegae mochi on the Dazaifu approach; Kasanoya and Terashita are the most-cited.
