WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A traditional Japanese sweets shop in Sumida with over 20 years of history, built entirely on word of mouth — no social media, no website.
創業20年以上、SNSもホームページも持たず口コミだけで名を広めてきた、墨田の甘味処。
The artisan, who trained in Kyoto, handcrafts every sweet using rare black sugar sourced from Tokunoshima Island, and at prices ranging from 1,000 to 1,999 yen, regulars are unanimous: this level of craftsmanship at this price is almost too good to be true.
京都で修行した職人が徳之島産の希少な黒糖を用いて丁寧に仕上げる甘味は1,000〜1,999円という価格帯で、「京都修行の職人の手仕事でこの値段は安すぎる」と常連たちが口を揃える。
Selected for the Tabelog Sweets Hyakumeiten, the shop draws queues every weekend.
