Ichirikido Kyomise Main Shop

Japanese Confectionery

4.0

A long-established Japanese confectionery store founded in the Horeki period between 1751 and 1764, and located in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. Since the time of Matsudaira Fumai, the seventh lord of the Matsue Domain, Ichirikido has served as confectioner to the feudal domain. Their specialty sweet is himekosode, a so called otomegashi (limited edition sweet) because it was forbidden to make the sweet unless ordered to do so by the lord of Matsue. It is a delicate flavored sweet made from the finest peeled bean jam and specially made wasanbon sugar (fine-grained Japanese sugar). The store also sells many other sweets including the Matsue specialty, wakakusa, and nishikiogura, made with yokan (adzuki-bean jelly) sandwiched between castella sponge.

They started business more than 200 years ago, had delivered the sweets to Lord Matsudaira. A second I stepped in, the lady helped me, offered me green tea and samples. I wanted to purchase...

江戸時代から続く、老舗和菓子店です。お茶をすすめながらの試食は、商売上手かと思います。松江はお茶の文化が盛んなので、和菓子店が多いらしいです。
