Wow. Seriously delicious Asian treats! Imported from directly from Japan. Loved all the chocolate ones especially! Arigato!

Their sweets are not too sweet and beautiful. My family always appreciates when I bring them home. The salesladies do a great job with gift wrapping. Sign up for their loyalty card!

Expensive but beautiful Japanese sweets and crackers , jellies and beautiful things. Just gorgeous.

Sherry Li

Legit wagashi (Japanese sweets). They have seasonal items . I like their jellies and casutera. Their Muscat jelly is really good frozen.

Edna Lo

Expensive but worth it. Great Japanese dessert place. I wish there were more places like this. Reminds me of Japan.

In Tokyo , their stuff is already pricey ; imagine once it is imported and sold here in the US. Some of their offering cannot be found elsewhere in the city . Kasutera and Rusks are delicious.

Lillian Young

Super delicious and fancy Japanese sweets. Try Tsuya (dorayaki ) and all the different mochi .

Get their frequent shopper card, after spending $100 you get $5 off your next purchase. It's easy to get $100 worth of goodies here

A bit on the pricey side, but the selection of the specialty Japanese pastries is awesome.

In spring check if they have the Sakura mochi - a rice cake with red bean paste wrapped in a pickled Sakura leaf.

This place has mochi , wagashi, all the lovely Japanese treats that you usually only find in Japantown. Great store right on Market Street - just opened today/Aug 28/09.

If you like the flavor of matcha (green tea ), get the Maccha Busse (Sponge Cake ). Intense flavor, awesome, incredibly soft texture. Yummy!
