Heiwado Main Shop

This historic Japanese confectionery is said to be founded sometime during the Taisho period. This shop, with a distinctive exterior, which reminds one of bygone years, sells a large assortment of western and Japanese confections. The Shimamurasaki, a fine Japanese confection is one in which the highest grade of soy sauce, a specialty of Shodo Island, is added to the pastry dough enveloping a mildly sweet white bean paste, and has come to be one of the confections associated with Shodo Island. The popularity of this sweet, shaped into the shape of a brewing barrel, has not waned for many generations. Another sweet, which has become a popular item sold on the internet, is the Shodo Island Olive Castilla cake, in which olive leaf powder and olive oil is used. The Shodo Island Shoyu Castilla that has a faint aroma of soy sauce, and the Maiko Kiku confection, which sandwiches Hokkaido adzuki beans between western pound cake pieces, are beloved as well.
