I Thought It Was a Kyoto-Only Shop! The Famous 'Ginjūan Seimizu' for Konpeito Can Also Be Found in Ginza♡

Lucky Confectionery: Kompeito ♡

When it comes to Japanese sweets suitable for weddings, it’s all about Kompeito (金平糖) ♡

Kompeito, which takes time and effort to make, symbolizes a harmonious marriage as it represents "a couple taking time to build a home together."

That's why it's popular in wedding scenes as a gift or petit treats.

Japan's Best Kompeito Shop: Ryokujuan Shimizu

Kompeito is made by various manufacturers and confectionery shops, but the most famous is "Ryokujuan Shimizu (緑寿庵清水)" located in Kyoto.

With a history of over 150 years, it is the only specialty store for Kompeito in Japan!

All of Ryokujuan Shimizu's Kompeito is handmade by skilled artisans.

It is said that it takes more than two weeks to grow each piece to about 1cm in diameter.

At Ryokujuan Shimizu, you can find limited edition Kompeito and the "Ultimate Kompeito," rumored to have a two-year wait for reservations, among other special varieties.

This makes Ryokujuan Shimizu’s Kompeito the perfect choice to be served at a once-in-a-lifetime wedding.

However, it hasn't been easy for brides outside the Kansai region to obtain it, as they can't purchase it online and must visit the store in person.

You Can Buy Without Going to Kyoto! They Have a Ginza Store Too ♡

But actually!

There is a Ginza store of the famous Kyoto Kompeito shop "Ryokujuan Shimizu"!

Being able to obtain Japan's best Kompeito without going to Kyoto is such a delight…!

The Ginza store was opened with the desire to let people know about "authentic Kompeito that blends tradition and innovation to meet modern needs."

The stylish exterior, quite different from the charming atmosphere of the main store in Kyoto, is a landmark.

Look Out for the Unique Packaging Different from the Main Store!

Moreover, the Ginza store features a completely renewed packaging design, which is also attractive ♡

With a refined design based on white, it has a modern atmosphere.

This makes it easy for brides not having traditional Japanese weddings to incorporate it as a gift or petit treat.

Additionally, the flavors have seen changes.

At the Ginza store, in addition to traditional Kompeito, there are modern variations like peach-pine, vanilla, and pistachio, which are something new! ♡

You can give someone rare Kompeito that no one has tasted before.
