Uiro ういろう
Made of rice, uiro is a soft and elastic, slightly chewy mochi. It was originally the name of a rank of officials in Tang Dynasty China. Later, Japan had a popular wagashi made with brown sugar, which looked similar to a medicine with the same name, "Tou Ding Xiang" (over the top fragrance), so this name became widely spread.
Usagi Family ウサギの家族
In the Japanese world, rabbits represent good symbolic meanings. Their strong reproductive ability signifies that the family will have many descendants; their excellent jumping ability and fast footsteps symbolize great ambitions and can quickly bring good luck and blessings to the family.
Teacher Emily, founder and master craftman at Toukaya, loves white rabbits. When she was working at a 70-year-old Wagashi shop in Japan, it happened to be named Usagiya (Rabbit House) . After returning to Taiwan in 2006, Emily started her business and came up with the idea of Yukidama Usagi (Snow Rabbit). As expected, it immediately attracted a huge response when it was launched. In order to prevent the Snow Rabbit from being lonely, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival the following year, Emily gave it a partner Kodama Usagi. The cute pink mochi with white ears is filled with a sweet and fragrant Taiwan No. 57 sweet potato filling. The soft and dense texture is delicious on its own, and also pairs well with tea.
