Tsukasa Honpo Isahaya Okoshi
There is an unforgettable taste from a long-established shop that closed with much regret. Founded in 1942, Tsukasa Honpo was one of the venerable shops that continued to produce the Isahaya specialty, 'Isahaya Okoshi.' Using a unique production method involving 'To-akuzu' (alkaline liquid) brought from China to bind the rice, it offered a traditional flavor where the simple sweetness of brown sugar and the savory aroma of peanuts spread throughout the mouth. Although the shop closed in 2021 due to road widening construction on its site combined with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, its taste remains deeply etched in the memories of the people of Isahaya. This is a product we wish to preserve and pass down—the culture of Okoshi nurtured by Isahaya, a post town on the Nagasaki Kaido highway.
