Revolutionary Packaging!

Being a store that has been open since 1899, the company still never fails to incorporate innovative practices. For example, the Akasaka mochi, the mochi and kinako (soy flour) is wrapped together in individual furoshiki-style packages. This store was the first to use furoshiki (wrapping cloth) for this kind of packaging.
