1. Black sesame gravel rice cake
A neo-wagashi that has it all: appearance, texture, and taste
- Peanut paste and sugar are wrapped in soft, stretchy gyuhi rice cake, and then generously sprinkled with black sesame seeds for a fragrant treat. The crunchy texture, sweetness of the peanut paste, and subtle salty accents are irresistible, and you're sure to become addicted.
2. Aoyagi Uiro Daiginjo Shiraoi
A marriage of the rich aroma of sake and the gentle flavor of bean paste
- This special Uiro was born from our connection with Sawada Sake Brewery in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. It is made of two layers, one made from Daiginjo Shiraoi and the other from smooth bean paste, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of the sake, the grainy texture of the rice, and the gentle sweetness of the bean paste. It is a perfect souvenir, combining the local sake brewery with a local specialty.
3. Eel Chazuke

- This product allows you to enjoy authentic eel chazuke at home. The eel is grilled in the store and processed with our unique techniques to create a kabayaki that melts in your mouth and has almost no bones, making it safe for the elderly and small children. The tea that has been specially made for this occasion is golden roasted sencha. Please enjoy it with the condiment set (seaweed, wasabi) and garnish with spring onions to your liking.
4. Azuki bean cans, set of 5
Compared to regular boiled azuki beans, this is an extremely special product.

- Point 2: Azuki beans The Dainagon azuki beans from Tokachi, a famous azuki bean producing area in Hokkaido, are known for being of the highest quality. We carefully selected high-quality ingredients from among these. The beans are larger than regular azuki beans, and they retain their shape well, so you can feel the texture of the beans.
5. Shrimp Stock Kishimen
