Alongside the path to the shrine are shops selling umegae mochi (梅ヶ枝餅) , a grilled azuki bean cake stamped with the pattern of a plum tree flower.
These snacks are strongly associated with the shrine for their connection to the legend of Michizane.
It is said that an elderly caretaker, Jomyoni, prepared the snacks for him, and left one as an offering when he died.
