Hana Fukagawa

Fukagawa Hana is a Japanese confectionary store near Fukagawa Fudoson in Monzennakacho. Its signature product is "Fukagawa's famous Kintsuba". It is a famous store that is often featured on TV programs and in magazines.

How does Fukagawa Hana Kintsuba taste?

I bought a pack of five. When you open the bamboo bark-like wrapping, you will see the Kintsuba lined up in an orderly fashion. The very thin crust is so delicate that you can see the sweet bean paste in some places through it.


When you cut it, the neatly wrapped bean jam inside shines.


The crust is soft and moist with a unique crunchy texture. The sweet bean paste inside is fresh, not very sweet, and goes down easily. I was a little surprised because I thought it would be very sweet since there was so much bean jam.


The fact that the bean paste is not too grainy also adds to the elegant impression. The refreshing taste makes it perfect for spring and summer tea cakes. It is recommended as a souvenir for yourself, your family, or as a handy gift.
