Ginza Kikunoya TOKYO GIFT PALETTE
Japanese Sweets Rooted in Ginza Tradition since 1890.
Ginza Kikunoya is a long-established Japanese confectionery brand founded in Ginza Owaricho in 1890. It has built a history of more than 130 years in Ginza while adapting its confectionery to the times. The TOKYO GIFT PALETTE shop offers its signature Fukiyose assortments alongside other Edo-style wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) that reflect the seasons and a sense of playfulness.
Its signature product is Fukiyose, a name registered as a trademark. Created in the 1920s, this defining Ginza Kikunoya confection was inspired by higashi (dry Japanese sweets) served at tea gatherings. Each tin contains an assortment of small Japanese sweets shaped like nuts and leaves, along with konpeito (small sugar candies), wasanbon sugar (a fine-grained Japanese sugar), peanuts, and more. The beautifully arranged, colorful sweets are a feast for the eyes.
Alongside its year-round range, the shop offers seasonal products inspired by Japan’s four seasons and annual events. Part of the appeal is choosing something to suit the time of your visit. Located outside the ticket gates, just beyond JR Tokyo Station’s Yaesu North Exit, it is easy to stop by after sightseeing in Tokyo or before boarding the Shinkansen, Japan’s bullet train. Its sweets make ideal Tokyo souvenirs and gifts for someone special.
