A legendary candy shop, with 500 years of tradition
With 500 years of history, Minatoya Yurei Kosodateame started as a rice and barley store. The owner used to make and sell candy from leftover barley, and has transformed into a traditional candy store that still operates today. With a 9 to 1 ratio of malt sugar and sugar, the shop's candy isn't overly sweet, and is also consumable by visitors with diabetes. Minatoya Yurei Kosodateame is highly recommended to visit, if you wish to experience the master culture of Japan and the 500 year history of iconic candy.
