01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

If you’re looking for candy without sugar, Hoshodo’s “是何也” is worth considering. Buyers report that it is made with just starch syrup and rice syrup, and has a restrained sweetness. Savour it slowly and a mild sweetness is said to develop gradually, making it a choice for anyone keen to try something different from everyday candy.

The shop also sells grape-flavoured candy and varieties such as “Uji no Ishi” and “Cider”. Its beautifully patterned candies and pieces shaped like maiko make appealing souvenirs, too. Hoshodo, in Nakagyo Ward, is open on weekdays from 10:00 to 17:00 and is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
