Located in the heart of Hirado City, 'Kumaya' is a long-established Japanese confectionery store boasting a history of over 300 years since its establishment. The traditional techniques passed down through the generations and the handcrafted flavors by skilled artisans continue the essence of Nagasaki's local confections.
The pride of Kumaya lies in its specialty product, the delightfully chewy 'fu manju'. Carefully made from selected wheat flour, these steamed buns are filled with carefully crafted sweet bean paste. With various flavors such as sesame and fruit, there is a wide variety with colorful appearances. Other local beloved specialties such as 'gobomochi' are also available.
In addition to traditional Japanese confections, the lineup of Western-style confections has recently been enhanced. Especially notable are the cream-rich 'kuma roll' and 'brulee castella roll' among the new additions, showcasing innovative creations by skilled artisans.
Kumaya has a confectionery factory attached, and the biggest attraction is the ability to purchase freshly made confections on the spot. When visiting for tourism, be sure to savor the fresh and fragrant flavors. The store also offers an eat-in space for you to leisurely enjoy the confections.
The charm of a fusion of the long-standing tradition representing Hirado and new initiatives. Why not experience the distinctive local flavors of Hirado at Kumaya?
