This long-established Japanese-style confectionary store, located in Sakai, was founded in 1329, in the late Kamakura period. Their specialty walnut mochi's name is derived from green soybean paste wrapped in mochi. The exquisite balance of the product's softness and the bean paste's smoothness is something people never tire of, according to its reputation. Their take-out menu is so popular that there is always a line extending out of the store. Additionally, seated within the eat-in space inside the store, customers can also enjoy shaved-ice walnut mochi, as well as the store's regular walnut mochi.

On summer weekends the place is too crowded how famous it is, but its worth each minute of wait!If you are not familiar with the japanese traditional green bean paste, the first look is disgusting...
堺名物くるみ餅。

堺名物くるみ餅。小さい頃からくるみ餅はこの店のものしか食べたことがありません。見た目と食感は仙台名物「ずんだ餅」の「ずんだ」でないバージョンという表現でしょうか（笑）何個でも食べられます。商品はくるみ餅のみ。冬でもかき氷を扱っていて、持ち帰り用の壺がイキで老舗の風格。
