The Origin Story

Editorial

An adorable famous confection from Saku, shaped like the 'Saku Carp' that grows in the cold waters of the Chikuma River.

Izumiya Confectionery is a long-established shop in Saku, founded in 1920. The 'Koi-guruma' (Carp Wheel) is a signature souvenir created in honor of the nationally renowned Saku Carp. Inside its cute carp shape, it is filled with handmade red bean paste and an original mellow custard cream. Saku Carp are known for their firm flesh and high quality without any strong aftertaste, as they grow slowly in the cold currents of the Chikuma River.

It is a delightful treat both in appearance and gentle flavor. A heartwarming Japanese sweet that lets you experience the carp culture of Saku. A famous confection you will surely want to take home as a memory of your visit to Saku.
