「和菓子＝敷居が高い」
そんなイメージを変えたかった——。

フィギュアが並ぶ店内、もちもちのいちご大福、かわいさを追求した練り切り。
そこには、“自由な発想”と“確かな技術”をあわせ持つ職人の姿があった。

開業して14年。
師匠を持たず、独学で歩み続けた一人の職人が、
「かわいい」という価値観を和菓子に重ねながら、
少しずつ形にしてきた“答え”とは——。

“Wagashi feels formal and traditional” — he wanted to change that.

A shop lined with figurines.
A soft, chewy strawberry daifuku.
Delicately crafted nerikiri that celebrate cuteness.

Behind it all stands a wagashi artisan with both free-spirited ideas and solid technique.

It’s been 14 years since he opened his shop.
With no master to guide him, he walked the path alone—learning everything through experience.

Through years of trial and creation, he blended his own sense of “cute” into the world of wagashi.

What is the “answer” he has shaped with his hands?
