It is a traditional Japanese sweets shop

There are Japanese sweets only for Tsurumi.

A Japanese sweet shop in the city. The dumplings are delicious.

Delicious but affordable. In addition to Japanese sweets, Inari and nori rolls are also recommended.

I like sweet potatoes with modest sweetness. The dumplings are soft and I like the mochi and the buns. Fresh confectionery is very beautiful and feels the season. I am happy to have tea every time.

*** Good news for Japanese sweets shops! In a joint research between AVSS and Ryukakusan, it was found that the combination of red beans and Japanese tea has an antiviral effect against influenza. AVSS is a viral infectious disease therapeutic drug development company founded by Professor Nobuyuki Kobayashi of Nagasaki University Graduate School. Studies have shown that plants also have a protective function because they are infected with the virus. The old tradition was also effective as a measure against influenza. Azuki was used for mad dog disease in the Edo period, but its action has been confirmed in the laboratory. Red bean paste and tea are antivirus measures that Japanese sweets shops play an active part in winter. *** The number of Japanese sweets shops in Kishitani has decreased before I knew it. But Mr. Morikodo is still alive. It's good because the entrance is shaded in the summer because it's next to Satsuki Bookstore. The entrance to the bookstore district in Jimbocho is on the shaded side, so it's a summer-friendly shop. I'm happy with products that have a sense of the seasons. Azuki beans are the raw material used for bean paste in Japanese sweets, but even if they look the same, there are differences depending on the production area. At the Kiyotsuki main store in Kitami City, the azuki beans used are locally produced in Kitami and have a different taste from those produced in Tokachi. Azuki beans (producers in Hokkaido call them Shozu) cannot be cultivated in the same field for two years in a row, so they are planted with potatoes (potatoes) and other crops in an eight-year rotation. This is called crop rotation, but the soil changes depending on the crops to be combined. It also has a subtle effect on the miscellaneous taste of azuki beans. It makes a difference when it becomes bean paste. "Shima-san" says that red bean paste and pickled plums go well together. It's a tasteless azuki bean, so you can imagine that it can be combined with sourness, but I'm happy that it can also be applied to Japanese sweets in the summer. Since there is a difference in taste with and without heating, there are a lot of variations. It is also good to aim for a summer appetite-promoting effect with Japanese sweets containing plums.
