The shop is named in honor of Musashibo Benkei, the immensely strong man who dragged Mii-dera Temple’s bell to Mt. Hiei. The traditional handmade technique used to make Mii-dera Chikaramochi has been passed down from generation to generation and has become known for its simple, rustic hometown taste.
