Morihachi — Main Shop (森八 本店)
History
Founded as a confectionery business in 1625. The main shop moved into a newly built Otemachi building in 2011. Displays inside show wooden molds used in confectionery making.
Choseiden (長生殿) is a rakugan sweet, made by pressing a dry confection into a mold. Seasonal fresh sweets (上生菓子) are also available. The main shop has a tea room and a museum of confectionery molds.
