Kuromon Mitoya
A traditional Japanese confectionery shop with a long history, dedicated to the art of mochi-making.
Located in Kuromon Market, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop has been delighting customers for over 70 years. Known for its dedication to mochi-making, the shop carefully selects the best quality glutinous rice each year based on climate conditions. The water used in production is filtered through barley stone, removing impurities and adding minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. Every step of the kneading process is done by hand, resulting in mochi with the perfect texture—soft, stretchy, and delicious.
The shop offers a wide variety of mochi, from special blends incorporating ingredients like Tanba black soybeans, sakura shrimp, and yomogi (mugwort), to stuffed options like sweet bean-filled an-mochi and seasonal fruit daifuku. Each creation is crafted to highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients, making for a satisfying and memorable experience.
In addition to mochi, Kuromon Mitoya also features a range of traditional sweets like dorayaki and kuri manju (chestnut-filled buns). These treats are beloved for their delicate sweetness and rich flavors. Whether you're shopping or exploring Kuromon Market, this is a must-visit spot to savor the finest Japanese confections.
