After loading up on sweet shaved ice, we explore further by crossing the street into another shopping street opposite. And here we found a very cool traditional sweet and snack shop, or would you call it a confectionary? It looked like one of those touristy shops you find at touristy places, but this shop was a lot bigger than their store front.
As we made ourselves inside, we saw so many types of rice snacks!
I knew they were rice snacks cause there was a huge "Rice" sign on it. They came in all shapes and sizes and a variety of flavours! I love rice snacks. I always feel healthier eating them as compared to potato chips.
The shop seems to sell other traditional Japanese items too, like pottery. I love pottery! Especially tea sets. I bet they also serve tea here. Japanese tea!
Yup, in the middle of the shop, just in front of a picture of an ancient tree, they have a tea drinking area, with iron cast tea pot too! I always wanted to own one of this tea pot. But they are always so expensive.
Here's a photo showing how huge the shop was. This was just the first storey. There is a second storey too. And the shop smells of freshly made cakes cause at the back of the store they actually made taiyaki for sale. You can buy them individually as a snack.
I love this tea area <3
Here is an official info sign about the shop. A 351 year old shop fill with history!
The 2nd floor was like a cafe. But it was closed when we were there. Above is some sample of what they serve at the cafe. I think it would have been nice to come and eat here. It was such a lovely shop.
Although the cafe was closed, we were allowed to walk up and take a look. So we did.
Everything about the building was beautiful, made of wood. Solid wood.
Anyway, if you're ever in Kagoshima, do pay them a visit, and maybe dine there. We got some snacks from the shop. It's such a fun place to visit.
