A wagashi shop with seasonal sweets and a small tea room at the back.
This is a sample page. Komaya Japanese Sweets is a fictional place, and its name, prices and hours are all made up for this sample.
How to enjoy it
Komaya’s fresh sweets change shape and colour every month. Ask the staff at the case what each one depicts. You can take them away, but fresh sweets are best eaten the same day, in the tea room.
Seasonal nerikiri and other fresh sweets, plus baked sweets and yokan that keep for days. Gift boxes available.
How to enjoy it
For souvenirs, the baked sweets travel well. Fresh sweets thin out by afternoon, so choose in the morning.
Pick any fresh sweet and have it with matcha in the small tea room at the back.
How to enjoy it
Eat the sweet first, then sip the matcha, and the sweetness and bitterness balance. No need to worry about etiquette.
Make two seasonal nerikiri with a confectioner. Eat one with matcha and take the other home.
How to enjoy it
Warm hands soften the paste, so work quickly. Don’t worry; the confectioner helps you finish.

Tasting and a brewery tour at a farm-to-bottle sake brewery.
Tip
Komasumi has grown its rice and brewed its sake in one family for five generations, a brewery that starts in the paddy. Beyond the shop, look at the fields around the brewery and the well that supplies its water. Seeing how field, water and brewhouse connect makes choosing a bottle more fun.

Carve a spoon at a woodcraft studio.
Tip
No two wooden bowls share the same grain. When choosing one in the gallery, hold it to feel its weight and surface. Ask how to care for it so it lasts.

Walk an Edo-period post town on the old Koshu Highway.
Tip
Step onto the old road that runs beside today’s highway and walk slowly. Look at the eaves and the storehouses, and you can picture the bustle of travellers passing through.

Tour and tasting at a small valley distillery.
Tip
Being small, the whole process from mashing to filling casks is visible in one building. The tasting lines up the same spirit at different ages, so you can follow what the cask does. Drivers get a non-alcoholic malt soda instead.
