Salt Pot Aquarius Wholesale Market

Founded in the 5th year of Kyoho (1720), this long-established shop is the manufacturer of the traditional Japanese confectionery, the famous "Shihokaman." Each piece of "Shihokaman," priced from 450 yen, is handmade one by one using a wooden mold. It has a rich flavor of glutinous rice, and the refreshing aroma of perilla creates a soft melt-in-your-mouth texture. The sister product, "Chojuraku" with walnuts, priced from 500 yen, is also made with glutinous rice and contains plenty of walnuts, giving it a savory taste, with the richness of brown sugar. It is popular not only with tea but also pairs well with coffee and black tea. The building of the shop is registered as a tangible cultural asset of the country. A variety of teas, matcha, teapots, and tableware from various regions of Japan are also available. It is perfect for finding souvenirs.
