The best Japanese sweets shop that I know!

Vegan Karinto, Ichigo Daifuku, and many other vegan and non-vegan sweets. Their Karinto is probably my favorite sweet that I could eat in Japan, and their Ichigo Daifuku is the best! A father and son team work together, always striving to improve their offerings to satisfy everyone. They select ingredients with great care from a handful of long-trusted local providers, ensuring they are of the highest quality.

Although the packaging states that it may contain traces of dairy, etc., they assured me that their products do not contain any. This warning is only indicated because some of their ingredients are sourced from providers who also work with dairy products in the same place, hence the possibility of cross-contamination. However, these products (Karinto, Ichigo Daifuku and a few others) are vegan.

I wanted to give them 5 stars, but I couldn’t due to HappyCow’s policy on shops that are not fully vegan.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, Very friendly staff
