I loved the wagashi my grandmother made. But after my grandmother passed away, I realized how important it was to spend time with wagashi," says the owner, Aoi Tsuchida. She has more than eight years of experience in sales and production at Japanese confectionery stores. The store, which opened in 2019, is open only three days a week because she also works as a wholesaler.

The storefront is lined with unpretentious morning confections such as o-hagi, dango, and neko monaka (cat cake), which are carefully handmade from scratch. The red bean paste is made over a period of two days to ensure that the true flavor of the azuki beans can be felt. Wagashi that incorporate Aoi's unique style and seasonal flavors will make you feel a little happiness and a sense of the season.
