The store is a spacious and clean store that was renovated from a kimono store. It's fun to choose from the array of fresh Japanese sweets in the window. All of them are delicious, but some people may find them a little expensive. Although there isn't always a line, there are always customers when I go there, and most of the customers are well-dressed ladies. Black bean daifuku has large, soft and sweet beans, so it is recommended for those with a sweet tooth.

Delicious!! I think it was chestnut mochi, mame daifuku, and roasted chestnuts? Purchase.
I knew it was a popular store, so I wondered if it would be sold out after noon, and it was hard to see inside the store even when I passed by, so I hesitated to go in until now.
I finally arrived around 10:30 in the morning. The staff at the store were polite and made me feel warm. The bean mochi is a little salty, sweet, soft and delicious. The chestnut mochi is also well balanced. The roasted chestnuts are small, but you can really enjoy the chestnut filling. I'm bad at explaining lol. Everything was really delicious. Definitely a repeat purchase. My favorite stores have increased.
