#一文字屋和輔 — Public Fediverse posts

Right up to the end of WWII the store ran an honor system, with guests paying what they could for a plate of aburi-mochi (あぶり餅). Nowadays it costs 500 yen for 11 skewers of mochi and a pot of tea.
And it is worth every penny🙌🍡✨

Both stores have historically played slightly different roles.

For a long time Ichiwa provided mochi specifically for the gods of Imamiya-jinja and for its pilgrims. In the Edo period, when rice became more affordable, Kazariya was opened (by Ichiwa) as a more general rest stop.

Ichimonjiya Wasuke (一文字屋和輔), affectionately known as 'Ichiwa' (一和), is by far the older of the two chaya.

It was established shortly after the founding of Imamiya-jinja, and for over one thousand years has been catering to the shrine gods and visiting pilgrims.

Aburi-mochi (あぶり餅) are single-bite rice cakes, skewered on slivers of bamboo.

Dusted with kinako (roasted soy flour), they are baked over a charcoal fire and served with a slathering of white miso sauce.

Each helping has 11 pieces, a number considered auspicious as it is not divisible.

'Ichimonjiya Wasuke' (一文字屋和輔), affectionately known as 'Ichiwa' (一和), was established shortly after the founding of Imamiya-jinja.

For over one thousand years it has served visiting pilgrims a single type of snack: aburi-mochi (あぶり餅).
