This refers to Kanoko mochi (rice cake with kanoko paste). It is made by wrapping mochi in red bean paste and topping the surface with red beans boiled in syrup. It got its name from its appearance, which resembles the spots of kanoko dyeing. When mochi is wrapped in red bean paste and topped with white beans boiled in syrup, it is called Kyo-kanoko. During the Horeki era (1751-64), Edo actor Arashi Otohachi started selling it in Ningyocho and it became popular. Otohachi's store continued until the Kansei era (1789-1801), and was later taken over by Ota Ichizaemon, the head musician.

鹿の子餅(もち)のこと。餅を小豆餡(あずきあん)でくるみ、その表面に蜜煮(みつだ)きした小豆粒をつけたもの。鹿の子絞(しぼ)りの斑点(はんてん)のような姿からこの名がついた。餅を紅餡でくるみ、白インゲンの蜜煮きをつけたものを京鹿の子という。宝暦(ほうれき)年間(1751~64)に江戸の役者嵐(あらし)音八が人形町で売り出して人気をよんだ。音八の店は寛政(かんせい)(1789~1801)のころまで続いたが、のち囃子頭(はやしがしら)の太田市左衛門(いちざえもん)に引き継がれた。 [沢 史生] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
