It’s made of roasted soybeans coated with high-quality sugar and green laver, and mixed with salty ryokuto beans, making it the perfect sake snack. Their popular Nishiki-gaya featuring Japanese nutmeg is only available from late November to April.

高山の昔ながらの素朴なお菓子です。

サクッとした味が人気の三嶋豆です。お店の人によると、小学館のサラニという雑誌に取り上げられ、日本で1番歴史の古い豆菓子であることが判明したとか。また、お店から見える中庭が、素晴らしいと、外国人の方が庭の写真をよく撮られていきます。
