Fake reviews removed

A traditional confectionery specializing in Gokabo, a local Kumagaya sweet, founded in the Meiji era (1868) and now run by the 5th generation. Gokabo is one of Saitama's three major specialty sweets, certified as a '100-Year Food' by the Agency for Cultural Affairs (2021). Using green soybeans from Yamagata Prefecture, everything from the kinako (soybean flour) to the gokabo core is made entirely by hand. The overwhelming 507 Tabelog reviews prove sustained local popularity. About 9 min walk from JR Kumagaya Station. Takeout only.

Reviews say 'Always buy this to take home when visiting Kumagaya', 'Changed my concept of what Gokabo can be', 'Genuine flavor with distinct soybean flour aroma'. The overwhelming 507 Tabelog reviews prove sustained local popularity. High ratings from both locals and visitors. Reviews contain many detailed descriptions of texture and flavor — no fake review suspicion.
