Kameya

This Japanese confectionary shop is located a ten-minute walk from Hiroshima Station. The shop sells Kawadori mochi, a confection which is one of Hiroshima’s most celebrated and which is made with high quality gyuhi soft rice cake mixed with walnut; as well as a variety of other Japanese sweets. Kawadori mochi are a traditional confection derived from a historical event concerning the samurai lord Mori Motonari during the Nanboku-cho period. Dusted with kinako toasted soybean flour and cut into bite-sized pieces, the confection is skewered with a toothpick to keep the hands clean when eating and makes a perfect gift. The shop’s monaka wafer cakes, filled with top quality sweet bean jam, are only available from the main shop and branch shop in ASSE, Hiroshima station building.
