He carefully creates the Japanese sweets with a sense of the season and the fun store that makes your heart dance month by month. Here are the recommendations of the owner of such a Japanese confectionary shop, from standard to seasonal wagashi.

Flavorful "Soba Tsuyu Dumplings"

280 yen (all prices below include tax)

A dumpling made with karajiru soup from a popular soba restaurant. Karajiru is the soba sauce used for dipping zaru soba noodles. It is a dish rich and deep in flavor.

"An dumplings" where you want to enjoy seasonal paste

In addition to the standard two-layered bean paste, autumn seasonal paste such as chestnuts and Anno sweet potatoes were also available at the time of the interview.

The paste has an elegant sweetness, and the aroma of the season spreads in your mouth. The dumplings are soft and chewy, with an addictive texture.

A chewy dorayaki with a strong presence

From the left, "Mochizuki" 200 yen, "Hitsujigumo" 290 yen.

Mochizuki is a chewy dorayaki made with tsubuan bean paste. The softly cooked bean paste is also excellent.

The chewy yomogi (mugwort) bean paste dorayaki “Hitsujigumo” is a perfect match between the yomogi fragrant bean paste and the white miso yokan that coats the dough. It is an elaborate product with an interesting combination that is a little unexpected.

The Japanese confectionery “Takibi”, which was limited to November, is a dorayaki made with brown sugar dough. The apple and brown sugar bean paste were likened to a bonfire. It seems that it was sold out early.

Monthly limited Japanese sweets are often sold out, so reservations are recommended.

"Seasonal fresh sweets" that you can taste with your eyes

Fresh confectionery “Akizakura”

"Akizakura" (autumn cherry blossoms). Mr. Takahashi likes and is good at making flowers and other shapes out of fresh confectionery dough. He makes not only traditional shapes such as chrysanthemums, but also original ones such as "Akizakura".

Fresh sweets "Christmas"

Santa Claus is made of kneaded bean paste. The reindeer is a brown sugar bean paste made from brown sugar uiro. The Christmas tree is a matcha bean paste made from matcha kinton.

The very cute Christmas limited set is so popular that pre-orders are sold out before sales start.

"New Year's Japanese sweets" plan

On New Year's Day, there are Japanese confectionery with zodiac motifs and reservation sales of kagami-mochi. It seems that reservations are also accepted by phone.

All of the wagashi, which are carefully handcrafted one by one, are highly recommended.

It has been a few months since we opened. "There are many things I would like to try in the future, but I would like to work hard here for a year, and once I get settled in, I would like to try online sales and mobile sales. I would like to get more involved in the local community," says Mr. Takahashi. We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds.

Japanese sweets that look as good as they taste, are sure to bring a smile to everyone's face. Everyone, please enjoy the new sensation of “Hitotsuki Kizuku” Japanese sweets that you can enjoy watching and eating.
