Hot Spring Specialties

"Kujira Mochi" - a local flavor nurtured by history
Nagai Kujira Mochiten's "Kujira Mochi" is a long-standing specialty of Asamushi Onsen. "Kujira Mochi" itself is a local sweet from Aomori and Yamagata prefectures, brought over from Kyoto on the Kitamae ships. In Yamagata it is written as "Kujira Mochi", in Ajigasawa (Aomori prefecture) it is written as "Kujira Mochi", and in Asamushi it is written as "Kujira Mochi". It was named with the hope that it would be "a good mochi that will be cherished for a long time". It is a light red bean-colored sweet made by milling Tsugaru rice, mixing it with sweet bean paste and sugar, and steaming it, and the secret to its popularity is the subtle sweetness of the walnuts.

Hot Springs

Asamushi Onsen, where Shiko Munakata created his works
Asamushi Onsen has a connection with Aomori-born Munakata Shiko. Munakata called woodblock prints "banga" (woodblock prints) and continued to create works that made use of the characteristics of woodblock prints. In addition to his woodblock prints, he left behind a wide range of masterpieces, including hand-painted paintings known as wa-ga (Japanese paintings). Munakata loved the earth and continued to pray to the gods of the universe, so he chose Asamushi Onsen as a creative place to pour his soul into it. From around 1941, he stayed at Tsubakikan with his family every summer, leaving behind a large number of works. Many of his works are displayed inside the building, and the huge print in the lobby is well worth seeing.
