I was able to buy it without a reservation from April 22nd to 25th, so I went there with great enthusiasm.
When you enter the small and cozy building, you will be greeted by a glittering craftsman.
They explained each sweet in detail, and I was so impressed when I saw the Japanese sweets✨
The sweets are made using seasonal ingredients, the name of the sweet is decided, and the idea comes from that.✨
These Japanese sweets are so wonderful and cute that it feels like a waste to eat them ❤︎
Usually, you make a reservation and go pick it up. Like this time, the period when you can purchase without reservation is announced on the website, so I think it's a good idea to check before going to the store 😊

Tickets can only be purchased on the last few days of the month without reservation. Even on those empty days, the main items are sold out by the morning.
When I went to buy something around 2pm, it was already sold out and I couldn't buy it.
On other days, reservations are only available.
It's the most important Japanese sweets, but I've had it several times and it's always been wonderful.
Recently, the Japanese sweets made by up-and-coming young Japanese sweets artisans have been lacking in taste compared to those made by long-established craftsmen, but this is different.
It's really delicious.
The prices are reasonable and it's worth the trip.
