    A long-standing Japanese confectionary shop in business since 1896. The shop makes and sells the Shutsujin-mochi, a confection inspired by the mighty Echigo-born military commander Uesugi Kenshin; as well as a variety of other superb Echigo confections. The Shutsujin-mochi was inspired by the legend of Uesugi Kenshin giving his troops mochi rice cakes before a decisive battle to give them strength and improve morale. The confection’s mugwort rice cake, brown sugar syrup, and toasted soybean flour combine to create an exquisitely delicious treat. The confection is also “Made in Joetsu”-certified, a qualification given to outstanding local specialty products by the Joetsu City government.

    Shopping
    Niigata Joetsu-shi Nakamachi 3-2-20
    "A long-established store that has been making kamaboko fish cake since its founding in 1913. It's in Nakamachi, a castle town in Takada that's had rows of restaurants since ancient times. They devote themselves every day to delivering a traditional product, resulting in kamaboko that's delicate and soft with a delightful fish flavor. Their popular Kikurage-ita is an original item made by combining cloud-ear mushroom and kamaboko. It features a crisp and crunchy texture and is prepared with a house seasoning. Items that have received the ""Made in Joetsu"" specialty brand and that the city promotes on the national stage include Kikurage-ita, Sake-ita featuring northern salmon on top of gomoku mixed vegetable kamaboko, and their Megis-ten made with Joetsu harvested deep sea smelt. The Megis-ten is certificated as “made in JOETSU” which are special local products that the city recommends with confidence all over Japan."

    Niigata Joetsu-shi Minamihoncho 3-7-2
    This long-standing shop, established in 1624, has been making Japanese ame hard candies continuously since the Edo period. Standing along the old Hokkoku Highway, the shop sports a history-laden facade. Inside, the shop continues to make and sell awa-ame syrup, okina-ame and sasa-ame candies, and other Japanese confections. Okina-ame, made by hardening mizu-ame syrup with kanten algae gelatin, was once carried by the lords of Takada Castle when they made their biannual trip to Edo to give as gifts. Their chewy texture and light flavor makes it hard to stop eating them once you start. Sasa-ame, sold since the Bunka period, consist of thoroughly kneaded awa-ame syrup wrapped in a kuma bamboo grass leaf. The vaunted delights even make an appearance in Natsume Soseki’s celebrated novel, “Botchan.”

    It was a cold and rainy winters day when we decided to sightsee around Joetsu and it was a longer walk than we thought to find this shop but we were determined to make what felt like a pilgrimage...
