    "This Japanese confectionary shop was established in 1900. Based on the original founder's instruction to ""aim to create a better product using high quality ingredients,"" the shop continues to make seasonal Japanese confections. The shop's azuki bean paste, practically the foundation of almost any Japanese confection, is made with only choice, top class azuki beans. The shop's confections incorporate unique, Kumamoto ingredients and are a delight for the eyes as well as the tongue. The shop's popular Ekubo Manju buns are a New Year's confection which are used in the first tea ceremony of the new year. The moist and delicately soft Higo no Rakugan candies are widely loved as one of Kumamoto's most celebrated and well-known confections."

  • Ganso Mori Karashirenkon Main Store
    Shopping
    Kumamoto Kumamoto-shi Chuo-ku Shinmachi 2-12-32
    This shop specializes in karashi renkon mustard filled lotus root, one of Kumamoto's most well-known local dishes. It is said the shop's origins date back some 400 years ago to 1632 when the shop's founder, Heigoro, presented his karashi daikon to Hosokawa Tadatoshi, then-lord of the domain. Originally a health food for lords, the shop's karashi renkon is made without any preservatives whatsoever. The shop continues to make its karashi renkon diligently by hand, one at a time, the same way as when the shop was established. You can cut off a slice and eat it as-is or garnish it with soy sauce, mayonnaise, sesame dressing, or other condiments to curb the spiciness. Conversely, if you want your karashi renkon to be more spicy, try heating it in a microwave for about 20 seconds.

    Kumamoto Kumamoto-shi Chuo-ku Minami-tsuboimachi 6-1
    "This Japanese candy shop is located a 10-minute walk from the Torichosuji tram station. The shop continues to make Chosen-ame (Korean candies), a traditional confection in Kumamoto whose history stretches back over 400 years. Chosen-ame are made with glutinous rice, mizuame glucose syrup, and sugar, and are characterized by a lightly sweet flavor and a texture similar to other Japanese hard candies. Long ago, they were called ""chosei-ame"" (long-life candies), but after Kato Kiyomasa, then-lord of Kumamoto Domain, brought them with him during an invasion of Korea and praised them for their delicious flavor as well as their long shelf life, they came to be called ""Korean candies."" While continuing to preserve tradition, the shop also takes on new challenges; for example, in 2018 the shop released lemon candies, its first new product in 115 years."

    "This Western confectionary shop was established in 1949. The shop continues to make its signature Homore no Jindaiko as well as a variety of other Japanese- and Western-style confections. Homare no Jindaiko are made with gyuhi soft rice cake enwrapped in sweet Hokkaido azuki bean paste.

The tasty treats come wrapped in a paper ""can"" resembling a Japanese taiko drum, a special, patented packaging method designed to preserve the vibrant flavor. Other popular products include the Musha-gaeshi, inspired by the musha-gaeshi (warrior-repelling) walls of Kumamoto castle; and the Higo Gojuyonmangoku, jowarian highly sweetened bean paste sandwiched between two thin, crisp wafers."

    The pastries are very smooth, not too sweet, and cute! Apple mochi is the best. Has apple bits inside. Sooo refreshing and oishi

    Kumamoto Kumamoto-shi Minami-ku Kawashiri 1-3-39-2
    Kawashiri is a district filled with old-fashioned buildings bearing white stucco walls and lattice doors. This confectionary shop, located a five-minute walk from Kawashiri Station, has been making delicious and healthy sweets which celebrate the area's distinctive features since it was established during the Tenmei era (1781-1789). The shop's signature product is its Tenmei Manju, a bun stuffed with a flavorful egg yolk filling and sprinkled with fine-grained zarame granulated sugar before baking. The buns have a crumbly texture and are renowned for going well with both tea and coffee. The shop also actively incorporates European confectionary methods; for example, the shop's Cheese Manju, a baked bun with a cookie-like outer crust stuffed with cream cheese, has enjoyed much popularity thanks to this novel combination.

    老舗の和菓子屋さんですが、洋菓子もあります。 チーズ饅頭がすきです。 川尻のお菓子屋といえば、やっぱりこちらですね。昔からいい意味で変わらず美味しく、新しい商品も美味しいのが、とてもいいですね。

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
