Located in Higashi-ku, Nagoya, Yoshimitsu is a long-established Japanese confectionery store that has been particular about its ingredients and manufacturing methods since its establishment. Among its many products, the famous "warabimochi" is particularly famous. Made with a generous amount of domestically produced genuine warabi powder and carefully kneaded by skilled craftsmen, it has a melting texture and elegant sweetness. The aroma of soybean flour that spreads the moment you put it in your mouth and the smooth texture of the warabimochi are truly blissful tastes. As a representative Nagoya confectionery, it continues to attract locals as well as Japanese confectionery fans all over the country.

Yoshimitsu's warabimochi has a best-before date of 24 hours on the day of purchase in order to enjoy its delicate melting texture to the fullest. Therefore, it is recommended to taste it on the spot or purchase it as a souvenir just before leaving Nagoya.

Warabimochi is only available from October to the end of June. It is also best to make a reservation in advance.

In addition to warabimochi, there are a variety of Japanese sweets on offer, including beautiful fresh sweets that reflect the changing seasons, and baked sweets that make great gifts. All of them are full of flavor, with a deep taste that emphasizes the flavor of the ingredients.

The Tokugawa Art Museum is located nearby.

Tokugawa Art Museum: Adjacent to Tokugawa Garden, you can view feudal lord tools and art pieces, including the belongings of Tokugawa Ieyasu. This is a cultural spot where you can experience history and art.

[Useful points of concern]
- Warabimochi is very popular and may sell out, especially on weekends, holidays, and in the afternoon. If you want to be sure to get some, we recommend visiting early in the morning.

・The best-before date for warabimochi is very short, and it is only available on the day of purchase, so you should either eat it immediately after purchasing it, or if you are taking it home, prepare an ice pack or something similar and consume it as quickly as possible.

・There is only parking space for a few cars, so if it is full you will need to use nearby paid parking lots (there are several in the back streets).
