Shoyu Mame Honpo Omotesando Branch

Located along the approach to Kotohiragu Shrine - affectionately known as Konpira-san-Shoyu Mame Honpo Omotesando Branch offers a delightful mix of Kagawa’s traditional flavors and innovative sweets.

True to its name, the shop sells “Shoyu Mame,” a local specialty made by roasting broad beans and soaking them in soy sauce. The result is a plump texture and mellow flavor that captures the essence of Kagawa’s culinary tradition-perfect as a regional souvenir.

One of the highlights is the “Kamatama Soft Serve,” a creative twist inspired by Kagawa’s soul food, udon. Topped with soy sauce and chopped green onions, it looks just like a real bowl of udon! Its eye-catching appearance has made it a viral sensation on social media, drawing many visitors eager to try it. Other popular options include the luxurious Gold Leaf Soft Serve, the classic Matcha Soft Serve, and the elegantly sweet Wasanbon Soft Serve.

The shop also houses a tourist information center, where visitors can pick up local sightseeing maps and travel tips-making it a convenient stop for planning your trip around Kotohira.
