Japanese culture has a rich history stretching back many thousands of years. Based on Japan's unique culture, the production of "wagashi" (Japanese sweets) is a fine art with only a handful of dedicated producers surviving.
As Okayama Prefecture is situated in a temperate zone, the region provides the perfect climate for producing the finest ingredients for our sweets. We are fortunate to have such excellent ingredients readily available to us. Though some of our sweets are a little expensive, we use only the finest ingredients to ensure the quality of our sweets surpasses that of our rivals. We produce true confectionary by combining flavour with beauty.
The sweets market has recently been flooded with many cheap "wagashi" varieties. Furthermore, taking advantage of some consumers' ignorance, a number of companies produce "wagashi" appealing to the eye, but lacking in taste and quality. However some highly priced "wagashi" are also produced to very low standards, leaving customers disappointed. We hope you purchase our Japanese sweets, you will enjoy the difference.
Though many people enjoy sweets, there is the worry of becoming obese. Japanese sweets provide the perfect alternative for those possessing a "sweet tooth". The main ingredients used in the production of Japanese sweets are red beans and soya beans, which are high in fibre but low in cholesterol.
These ingredients attack harmful substances and dioxins, expelling them from body. Brown sugar is also used and contains a number of important vitamins and minerals for the body. Enjoy our sweets with piece of mind, and reduce stress levels at the same time.
Please sample the delights of our Japanese "wagashi", you will not be disappointed.

Our original store was located in the town surrounding the castle of the Ikeda clan, and we established our current company in the Meiji Period. We have survived through difficult times, endeavouring to satisfy the needs of our customers.
Our Japanese sweets have won a number of prizes and our "wagashi" has been introduced on television, radio and in the print media. Though we have developed our products to meet modern requirements, we are careful not to compromise the traditional qualitites of "wagashi".
