The front of the building, designated as a national tangible cultural property, has been preserved, and its shiny black exterior is an eye-catching sight!
The highlight of the renewal! The café corner!
The space is very relaxing, with a view of a lovely garden, and a part of the space is an open factory, so you can see the craftsmanship up close.
In addition to the 3 seats at the counter, there are 6 seats, and we can also set up a space for eating and drinking on the second floor!
Introduction of the café menu
The café menu includes fresh confectionery sets (with green tea) and Echino Snow and Senkashi sets!
The fresh confectionery sets are available in five different varieties, and one of the attractions is that you can choose from a selection of standard items and seasonal confections♪.
All the fresh confections on the set menu look delicious!
You can also feel the store's attention to detail in the different tableware even if you order the same menu items♪
What is Koshinoyuki Honpo Daiwaya?
Its representative confections include "Echino Snow," one of the three most famous confections in Japan.
What kind of confectionery is Koshinoyuki, one of the three most famous confections in Japan?
The three most famous confections in Japan are considered to be "Koshino-Yuki" by Yamatoya in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, "Choshoden" by Morihachi in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and "Yamakawa" by Furyudo in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture.
Koshinoyuki" is made by grinding Echigo's specialty glutinous rice into flour using Yamatoya's unique method and pressing it with wasanbon sugar, a specialty of Shikoku, to create a melt-in-your-mouth confection with an elegant sweetness.
It is said that in 1778, when Tadasei Makino, the ninth lord of the Nagaoka Domain, fell ill, he was presented with "Koshino-yuki," which improved his appetite and he soon recovered from his illness.
We have many recommendations!
The "Osato no Mahou" products that are popular among women and look great on SNS are perfect as souvenirs, such as "Amber Pumiki," "Amai OHASHIKI," "Oishii Oekaki," and "Kaleidoscope Kakera!
To the 2nd floor exhibition space
On display are a folding screen, a hakama, an Imperial box used to deliver sweets to the lord, and a tobacco container given by the lord, etc. It is amazing that these valuable materials from those days have survived despite the Hokuetsu Boshin War and World War II.
Other exhibits include hanging scrolls and other items, giving visitors a sense of not only the history of Yamatoya, but also the history of Nagaoka.
The cafe and exhibition space on the second floor will be used for Japanese confectionery classes and as a pop-up store in the future.
Please come to the Koshinoyuki Honpo Daiwaya Honten!
This store is recommended not only for Japanese sweets, but also for history buffs and those who like to visit cafes!
When you come to Nagaoka, please stop by the main store of "Koshinoyuki Honpo Yamatoya"♪
