Established in 1819, this venerable confectioner boasts over 200 years of history. The craft began with yokan-making techniques passed on by travelers; successive artisans refined the methods and have kept the shop open in front of Sōyu in Yamashiro Onsen since the first-generation owner Gengorō. The yokan was beloved by the Maeda clan of the Kaga Domain, and the shop served as an official purveyor. The character “Ren” (to refine) embodies the spirit of striving for excellence, a tradition still cherished today. Enjoy the storied “Kaga Meika: Ren no Yōkan,” crafted with two centuries of pride.
