Aiwowo is a traditional snack in Beijing. Every year around the Lunar New Year, snack bars and supermarkets in Beijing sell this variety until late summer and early autumn.

In the "Zhuzhong Zhi" written by Liu Ruoyu, the internal supervisor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, he said: "Making glutinous rice with sesame seeds is used as a cold cake, and filling it with balls is used as a wowo. This is the ancient 'un-dropped clip'."
