・"Hon Wagashu" formed by young masters of long-established Japanese confectionery shops nationwide
Taken at Ginza Mitsukoshi in 2021
“Honwakashu” is a group of Japanese confectionery heirs who have gathered together with the desire to spread the free enjoyment of Japanese sweets to the modern world. We create new Japanese sweets that demonstrate free sensitivity and playfulness while valuing traditional flavors and techniques.
◆ Thoughts of young people on the 10th anniversary ◆
■ <Tanakaya Senbei Originator> Mr. Yusuke Tanaka
In 2013, Honwakashu started with the idea of creating a new type of Japanese confectionery that fits into modern life. What could have happened in 10 small flaps? Please come and find the "now" of Japanese sweets standing in the future of those days.
■<Okashi Tsukasa Saiundo> Mr. Shuhei Yamaguchi <br /> Ten years ago when up-and-coming pastry chefs were in the spotlight, Japanese confectionery shops were flying low. The heir sons, who were worried that "if things go on like this…", gathered together and launched Hon Wagashu under the slogan "Tradition x Innovation". "Let's wear kimono and stand in the sales floor!" "Make new sweets and sell them yourself!" At first, the area was about 40 cm per company, and the young people were full of anticipation and anxiety, wearing kimonos that they were not used to. It's been 10 years since then, and it hasn't all been smooth sailing, but it's no exaggeration to say that we're here today thanks to our friends who have been with us and our customers who have supported us. From now on, I would like to continue to devote myself without forgetting the feeling of "gratitude".
■ <Noshiume Honpo Satoya> Mr. Shintaro Sato became. Take care of the fun of tradition, but don't be bound by it. It looks fresh even though it's not chasing only novelty. In order for a long-established store to spin a new history, we believe that it is necessary to be re-evaluated for each era.
■<Gokatteya Honpo> Mr. Toshifumi Ogasawara Please come to Ginza Mitsukoshi Honwakashu.
■<Fukagawaya Mutsu Daijo> Mr. Kichiemon Aki Hattori <br /> Honwagashishu started with a space of about 30 cm for each company. In the last 10 years, the sales floor has expanded and the distance with customers has decreased. This year, we will be a Hon-Wagashu that conveys our heartfelt gratitude to everyone.
■ <Kameya> Mr. Atsuki Yamazaki <br /> Finally, this Japanese confectionery is in its 10th year. Thank you for your patronage over the years. I am the youngest member, but I will continue to do my best, so please support me.
■ <Heiji Senbei Main Store> Mr. Hiroyasu Ito
After being active in Honwakashu for 10 years, I feel that I have gained the right to challenge the founder. It makes sense to return to the origin. We would like to propose “Reiwa Heiji Senbei”.
■<Yanagiya Hozen> Mr. Issei Oka <br />Hon-wagashi-shu, who enjoys and excites with customers. We will continue to challenge the future of Japanese sweets!
■ <Kiyome Mochi Originator> Mr. Shigenori Shintani I still want to do my best for the future of Japanese sweets.
