Located within Sugamo Jizo-dori, this Japanese confectionery shop has been in business since 1937. Following the previous generation's wish to create a specialty product and invigorate the town, "Shio Daifuku" was developed after much experimentation and launched in 1963. It has gained fans over the years, becoming a beloved signature item of Sugamo.

This Shio Daifuku uses carefully selected domestic ingredients, adjusting the saltiness with the seasons. The mochi, made traditionally without machines but pounded in a stone mortar, is known for its firm texture. The exquisite flavor, with a subtle saltiness amidst a refined sweetness, is popular at department store events.

The shop also produces special yokan for seasonal gifts, associated with historic gardens like the Special Place of Scenic Beauty Rikugien Gardens and The former Iwasaki House Garden, which are well-received annually.

Apart from Shio Daifuku, the shop offers a wide range of products, including classics like mitarashi dango, monaka, and dorayaki, as well as seasonal items like sakura mochi, warabimochi, water yokan, and fruit daifuku using seasonal fruits. It's a must-visit for temple souvenirs.
