Sasagawa Mochiya

4.0

This Japanese confectionary shop, established in 1883, was the inventor of Niigata’s famous bamboo leafdumplings. The shop’s fifth and sixth generation heads continue to make these dumplings according to the same recipe but also seek to make new and innovative products. The bamboo leaf dumplings are the shop’s signature product, and for these tasty treats, it’s all about the ingredients. Using ingredients produced in the prefecture as much as possible, the shop still makes them the old-fashioned way. Japanese mugwort is stocked from specially contracted farms growing them on embankments in the prefecture, and the bamboo leaves used to wrap the confections comes from kumai bamboo leavesgrowing amidst the mountains of Asahi and Ide. The dough is made using an original flour stone milled from Niigata-raised Koshihikari rice.

美味しい笹団子

Reviewed : 2021.06.12

創業１００年以上の老舗、笹川餅屋です。歴史ある外観です。笹団子、笹田舎まんじゅう、枝豆まんじゅう、水ようかんを購入。笹団子は間違いない美味しさ。個人的には枝豆まんじゅうが気に入りました。水ようかんも上品な甘さで美味しく頂きました。

おそらく新潟市内で一番古いお餅やさんです。新潟県産コシヒカリとこがねもちを石臼でひいて餅をつき、北海道十勝産小豆を使用した自家製あんこのお団子はとても美味しかったです。
