The traditional Japanese confectionery store "Itowokashi" quietly stands in Okusawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. This small store is condensed with wonderful taste and careful skills.
The specialty of Itowokashi is the truly "drinking-level soft daifuku."

Unconventional daifuku like grape and rum, oolong and almond are also popular, and any choice will delight you with exquisite flavors.
In addition to daifuku, seasonal fresh sweets and winged manju (sweet bun with sweet bean paste filling) showcasing the artisan's skills are lined up. From selecting the ingredients to making the dough, and finally the packaging, each product is carefully crafted, allowing you to taste the high-quality flavors of Japan.
Itowokashi's elegantly packaged and refined traditional Japanese confectionery is perfect for souvenirs. If presented as a gift to someone special, it will surely be appreciated. These profound delicacies convey affection and thoughtfulness to the recipient.
Itowokashi is conveniently located a 7-minute walk from the Tokyu Toyoko Line "Toku-Dai-Daigaku" Station. There are also lush green parks in the surrounding area, making it enjoyable to take a leisurely stroll while shopping. It is close to the city center and is a somewhat hidden gem-like Japanese confectionery store.
