Ryokujuan Shimizu — Main Shop (緑寿庵清水 本店)
History
The founder, Senkichi Shimizu, established the business in 1847 in the same Hyakumanben area where it stands today. Later generations introduced flavors such as cinnamon and rich matcha, expanding into konpeito made with many ingredients.
Konpeito (金平糖) are small, knobbly sugar candies. This specialist sells regular and seasonal flavors to take away.
