Should namagashi be eaten the same day?
Yes, please eat them the day you buy them.
A refrigerator hardens the bean paste, so a cool room keeps them better.
If you need something for tomorrow, take monaka or yokan instead.
Can I buy without ordering ahead?
You can. We only put out what was made that morning, so the choice thins by late afternoon.
For five pieces or more, a call the day before makes it certain.
On the day itself we will wrap whatever is left.
How many seats does the tea room have?
Six. We do not take reservations.
When they are full you can wait outside, or we will box the sweet for you.
Most people who sit here come alone.
Can you add noshi paper or a wrapper?
Yes, at no charge. Tell us the wording and the name.
For ten boxes or more, three days’ notice helps us.
For one or two we will write it while you wait.
Can you ship, and how long does it keep?
We send monaka, yokan and rakugan anywhere in Japan by parcel post.
They keep fourteen, twenty and thirty days respectively.
Namagashi do not keep, so we do not ship them.
Do you use egg or dairy?
Egg goes into the dorayaki batter. Nothing else we make contains egg or dairy.
Wheat goes into the dorayaki batter as well.
If anything worries you, please ask us by phone.
