About
We are a Japanese traditional sweets store with more than hundred year of history."Tsurukichi Yokan(bitter orange flavor)" is the most popular. It is a Japanese traditional sweet, made by boiling bean paste with sugar then harden with agar. It’s a fruit in tangerine species, which has most harvest amount in Japan here in our Atami city! During winter, the fruit turns to “daidai (orange) color” and then goes back to green without falling from the tree. Then, it turns back to orange color again next year. It is believed to bring success, and is used as decoration on New Year’s rice cake or New Year’s door decoration. With is strong aroma and refreshing taste, we recommend you to cool it before eating. Since all our products are handmade,we might not be capable of mass production. Instead,we aim to produce our products carefully and passionately,one by one. We would like many people to experience our traditional sweets.

On the corner, there are two Japanese sweet shops on opposite sides of the street. One is "Tokiwagi" and the other is "Takiwagi Yokanten" even though the same reviews on Trip Advisor seem to be attached to both locations, they are separate shops. I visited them both..

Each seem old in appearance but once inside, "Takiwagi Yokanten" feels a bit more hip whereas "Tokiwagi" has maintained an old world feel. I would highly recommend a visit to either shop (or both as I did) for some sweets with more subtle text and taste than you will find in the souvenir shops around Atami station. Note though that they will come at a higher price and shorter expiration date as a result.
