A small shop that sells homemade classic Japanese confectionaries. Everything I tried from here was delicious. The lady behind the counter was super sweet. It's definitely worth the short walk from the station if you are visiting the inari shrine.

Best bean paste daifuku I've ever had. Very soft and not too sweet with some chewy whole beans. Love it.
