Established over 150 years ago, Kimuraya Sohonten continues to delight its customers with rich, traditional flavors and seasonal specials. Here’s a glimpse of the top three products that captured the hearts (and taste buds!) of many throughout the year.

The Chocolate Corone is a classic handmade pastry that takes the shape of a shell, offering a delightful surprise with its rich chocolate cream filling. This nostalgic treat remains a favorite among customers who appreciate its homely charm and comforting flavors.

2nd Place: An-Butter Whip

In second place, we have the An-Batter Whip—a soft French-style bread that perfectly enhances the subtle flavor of wheat. This pastry features a combination of sweet tsubuan (chunky red bean paste) and luxurious whipped butter, creating a deep, flavorful experience that makes it hard to resist.

1st Place: Sakadane Anpan Cherry Blossom

Topping the list is the Sakadane Anpan with cherry blossom. This exquisite treat combines salted cherry blossoms and smooth red bean paste made from Hokkaido azuki beans, encased within the traditional sakadane dough. Historically significant, this product was famously presented to the Emperor Meiji in 1875, marking a pivotal moment in bringing anpan to the public.
