This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a policy.
Mr. Kayuan has a collection of famous confectionery from all over Japan.
This is a select shop of sweets carefully selected with Mitsukoshi's unique taste and sensitivity.
We visited a shop on the first basement floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.
Isemoto, Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store Leader, Kayuan Shop Leader.
Kayuan has a wide variety of confident sweets, such as gems from long-established and famous stores all over Japan, seasonal flavors, and local flavors that continue to be loved.
Therefore, it is lined up as a famous store, "famous confectionery of famous store" instead of a famous store.
And why is it delicious? It seems that only sweets with a story that can answer the question are selected.
And there are two styles, "standard sweets" that can be tasted at any time, and "this month sweets" that match the season.
The purchase is self-service form. You can freely put your favorite sweets in a basket as much as you like.
There are two types of baskets, plate size and basket size. It's also possible to buy it as much as you want.
From here, I would like to ask the Ise shop leader.
"Even if you don't want customers to travel around the countryside, I think the pleasure of shopping is that raw sweets made in the morning near Tokyo and the long-established sweets from Kyoto enter the same basket and you can choose as much as you like. That's the charm of our shop that I personally want to convey to our customers."
I would like to introduce the product.
Ajari-mochi (Ajarimochi) in full moon, Kyoto.
It is a sweet with a tight circumference and a full grain inside.
Ajarashi is a high priest of Mt. Hiei, a high-ranking monk. It's called Ajirokasa of Ajarashi.
It's a name from there. There are a limited number of places that can be purchased in Tokyo.
On many days, about 2,000 pieces a day come out."
Chomeiji Sakuramochi (center, upper and middle) in Mukaijima Yamamoto, Tokyo.
"There is a shop near the Sumida River, we handle it all year round, but customers' demands are high at this time.
It is made by wrapping Koshian with thin baked skin that Edokko customers like.
In particular, this year is the 300th anniversary of Sakuramochi. Thanks to that, our customers' requests are growing more than usual.
It arrives every Thursday and Friday at around 11:00."
Kurumiko from Beniya, Kamakura.
"It's in stock three times a week, but this is also a best-selling popularity.
It's a homemade caramel made with a lot of walnuts sandwiched in thin cookie dough.
It is a sweet that is very popular with female customers and is very popular with many inquiries over the phone.
Men are also recommended as a casual gift to women around you."
Pomdamur of Kobe No. 1 building in Hyogo. It's a standard product.
"It's a sweet made of apple pickles wrapped in a little bitter chocolate.
It is a popular snack that is one of the five fingers of our about 400 kinds of sweets. "
Anmitsu from Kameido Funabashi-ya, Tokyo.
"It arrives in the afternoon four times a week on fire, tree, Saturdays and Sundays.
(The interview date was Thursday, around 1:00 p.m. Funabashiya was just in stock and was lined up on the sales floor. )
It's anmitsu with kuzumochi in cup size. It's easy and it's a long-awaited snack today. "
A corner of tea ceremony sweets from all over the country.
"I feel that the number of people who don't make matcha is increasing.
It is a recommended corner because it has the charm that you can assortment and compare the pastry sweets here.
You can choose fresh sweets for about 250 to 300 yen per piece.
From very cute things to beautiful kneading, you can enjoy from one.
It is "selling" that you can decide based on your favorite combination."
Next time, I will talk about Mr. Kayuan's history.
