It's cakes made of bracken-root starch. They don't have fixed shop but appear at any events, so they're said to be rare. Mild Taste of the foodstuff and really soft. Kinako (soy bean powder) is not so sweet, I think that is because they are proud of warabi-mochi itself.

The cake uses lemons grown in Setouchi area. It is sour-sweet lemon chocolate over butter cake with a pleasant mouth-feel. I recommend it as souvenirs because the store stands near the Hiroshima station and Hiroshima is the top producer of lemon.
