Last update :

A small Japanese confectionary shop situated within a residential area. Here, a marriage between seasonal traditional Japanese sweets using ingredients obtained directly from the farmers and unique sake is proposed. Although there are many customers who visit to shop for souvenirs, one can also enjoy freshly made sweets.

For their flagship sweet, dorayaki, a red bean paste from Hokkaido dainagon beans is paired with seasonal fruit confiture. Including the classic lemon from Setouchi Iwagi island, there are always five kinds of fruit confiture prepared.

Come and experience an extravagant pairing between carefully selected sake, which the shop owner personally purchased from a sake brewery and traditional Japanese sweets.

Highlights

  • The best seller is the “lemon dorayaki” containing a lemon confiture, which has an exquisite taste of sweet red bean paste and refreshing lemon.
  • As well as Japanese sake, there are also authentic Chinese teas.
  • Check the official website before you visit, as they can be closed due to events and workshops.

    The white yokan mixed with spices and tangy dried fruits, paired with sake, is just an amazing combination! Plus, the prices aren't expensive at all!
