Nakagawa

This confectionery shop is located in Higashi Chaya District, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The townhouse’s distinctive white walls and lattice door are unmistakable. The shop specializes in the Japanese “Mitsugashi” sweet, which is made by vegetables soaked in water and sugar. Around ten variations of this sweet are consistently on display at the shopfront. The vegetables used as ingredients for the sweets are carefully selected from sources all over the country, but are mainly sourced from Kaga. The chefs let the traditional sweets soak slowly without using any additives, and the exquisite flavor and freshness of the vegetables is immediately apparent.
