Tawaraya Amenko

A gentle sweetness that melts softly in your mouth. This is the signature confectionery of Ame no Tawaraya, a recipe that has remained unchanged for approximately 200 years. Made solely from non-glutinous rice, barley, and spring water from Mount Hakusan, these simple candies are crafted by turning 'Jiroame' into small granules, using no sugar or artificial sweeteners. Founded in 1830 (Tenpo 1), Tawaraya is the oldest candy shop in Kanazawa. It is said to have originated from a desire to create something highly nutritious as a substitute for breast milk. Available in flavors such as Plain, Kinako (roasted soybean flour), and Matcha, they can be enjoyed safely by everyone from small children to the elderly. The simple, warm sweetness provides a moment of relief with every bite—a traditional taste that Kanazawa is proud of.
