Meboso Hachirobe Shoten Shop

This is a long-established store founded in 1575 selling traditional handicraft “Kaga Fishing Flies” and sewing needles. Lord Kaga named the sharp and easy-to-use needles “Meboso,” and they have been highly regarded from that time. Since the Meiji Era the shop started making fishing flies to catch ayu sweetfish and was awarded a certificate of merit at the “National Industrial Exposition” in 1890. Currently, apart from the traditional Kaga flies and sewing needles, marking pins with cute decorative heads and feather accessories are also popular. If you make a reservation you can experience making feather accessories. The nearest station is Kanazawa Station.
