Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1931, this takeout-only Japanese confectionery shop is the world's only maker of 'Roken Manto' (labor research buns). These slightly sweet steamed buns, fermented with pre-war era yeast cultures, come in 14 varieties. Takeuchi is the sole inheritor of this tradition worldwide. Beloved as Matsuyama's soul sweet for generations. Tabelog 3.51, 211 reviews.

Popular as a Matsuyama souvenir. Many repeat visitors from across Japan. A few complaints about service attitude, but food quality is consistently praised.
