Fukagawaya Brown Sugar Seki-no-to
"Seki-no-to" is a famous confection that has been produced for approximately 380 years since the Kan'ei era of the Edo period in Sekijuku, a post town on the Tokaido highway. This version is coated in brown sugar. It is said to have been devised by Hattori Iyobo, a descendant of the Iga-ryu ninja. The method—wrapping smooth bean paste in gyuhi mochi and coating it with Awa Wasanbon sugar—has remained unchanged in its ingredients and cooking process since the Edo period. In recent years, ancient documents found at the shop revealed that the Hattori family were descendants of ninjas who conducted intelligence activities while running a confectionery shop, which became a topic of great interest. With an elegant sweetness that melts delicately in your mouth, please enjoy this single piece that breathes with ninja wisdom and history.

Fukagawaya Seki-no-to
In 2019, descriptions regarding ninjas were confirmed in ancient documents passed down through generations at Fukagawaya, providing evidence for the oral tradition that 'Japanese confectionery shops served as a cover for descendants of Iga-style ninjas.' The shop, preserved by the 14th generation proprietor Yoshiemon Ryo Hattori, blends seamlessly into the historic streets of Seki-juku on the Tokaido road, continuing to deliver the same taste of gyuhi (sweet mochi) and wasanbon (fine sugar) that has remained unchanged for 380 years to travelers today.
