Last update :

This sweet shop is produced by a long-established Japanese confectioner that has been in business for more than 80 years and is so well-known to locals that it is known as 'Nakadaya for its kintsuba'. Here, visitors can taste sweets made from high-quality Noto Dainagon azuki beans (red beans) from Oku-Noto, which are known as 'red jewels'.

One of the most popular sweets is the tart with a moist green tea dough (JPY 495 for a single item). The rich custard cream is combined with four types of beans, including Noto Dainagon azuki and chickpeas, for a refined taste. The roll cake (440 yen) is made simply with fresh cream and Noto Dainagon azuki beans, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of the ingredients.
Of course, there are also Japanese dishes such as Zenzai with chewy white beans (JPY 715 yen), and it is nice to know that there are about 10 different types of Western and Japanese confectionery on the menu.

There is also a shop selling souvenirs such as kintsuba, so you can shop after enjoying the sweets.
