Founded in 1862 at Tambaguchi, a gateway on the highway leading to the capital, the company sold sugar, Tamba grape black beans, chestnuts, and other products essential for Kyoto cuisine and confections. Today, the company also has a branch in Nishiki Market and is popular among men and women of all ages. Among them, the black bean chocolates, created with the hope that "young people will also become familiar with black beans," are coated with chocolate by hand, one by one. One cannot help but feel the deep affection for the ingredients.
