A Long-Established Store Handed Down Since the Edo Period
Founded in the 4th year of Koka (1847)! This traditional konpeito shop has been in existence since the Edo period, just before Commodore Perry's arrival during the era of seclusion. It is a dignified establishment that has received numerous prestigious awards in Japan*
Handmade Konpeito with a 6-Month Wait is Common!
With a dedication that hasn't changed since the Edo period, the "real" konpeito is painstakingly handcrafted by artisans, taking as long as 16 to 20 days to produce.
