Traditionally Japanese sweet shop which are arrayed colorful cute sweets
It located at small back street in the Groin. After opening the door, we were welcomed by a modern but traditional atmosphere. Cute and colorful Japanese sweets are covered by big dome-shaped glass, and I was stolen my attention by this unique display. This graceful colors and elegant forms are too cute to eat. All of items in this store are good for a souvenir or gifts for myself. I became happy just by looking throughout the store. A kitchen that you can see the process of making confectioneries, and a gallery, where various programs and events are held, are in the back of the shop.

I love the displays at this shop! All the items are very eye-catching and beautiful. I think little sugar confectioneries, Rakugan, are really nice to look at. They are truly works of art. I really enjoyed walking into the store as they remodeled an old Japanese house known as "machiya" into a lovely gift store.
