The Award-Winning Favorite "Cheese Roppoyaki"

The specialty "Cheese Roppoyaki" is a cheese confection known for its pleasantly chewy texture. Three types of cream cheese are layered inside, while agar and locally produced "Motomiya Silkie Eggs" are used in the coating before each piece is baked. Its mild, approachable flavor makes it easy to enjoy even for those who are not especially fond of cheese. The refined, gentle taste has also earned recognition: at the "28th National Confectionery Exposition Hokkaido (Asahikawa Kashi-haku 2025)," it received the "Excellent Gold Confectionery Award." It was also served as a tea sweet when Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress visited Motomiya, Fukushima, making it one of the shop's representative confections.

"Oven-Fresh NAGURA Cream Puff with Fresh Custard Cream"

The "Oven-Fresh NAGURA Cream Puff with Fresh Custard Cream" is named for its resemblance to Mount Nagura in Motomiya, Fukushima Prefecture. The choux pastry shells are baked without filling, with the oven door kept slightly open during baking to allow air into the shells, creating a crisp exterior with a satisfying bite. The custard cream is added only after an order is placed, allowing customers to enjoy the pastry's fresh flavor and texture. Step inside the shop, and the sweet aroma of pastries baking in the large oven is sure to whet your appetite. This popular treat sometimes sells out, but customers can call ahead to have some set aside, so it's worth checking in advance.

Movie

From the Tabiiro Editorial Team

This long-established wagashi shop has upheld its traditions and reputation since its founding. I was deeply impressed by how it continues to experiment and evolve with changing times and seasons while remaining committed to the quality of its sweets and the trust it has earned over the years. We also heard considerable praise from people at nearby restaurants in Motomiya, Fukushima Prefecture, for both the shop's sweets and the owner's skill, reflecting just how deeply loved and trusted it is throughout the local community. It is easy to understand why the shop has remained a longtime local favorite.
