that Represents Kishiwada
that Represents Kishiwada
Since its founding in 1839, Koyama Baikadou has been cherished by
locals, with some
loyal customers visiting for over 70 years.
You will find a delightful selection of wagashi (Japanese sweets), from the classic
Baika Murasame—once presented to the lord of Kishiwada Castle—to the trendy
Nama-Chocolate Daifuku, a favorite among young people.
It is the perfect place to pick up a memorable Kishiwada souvenir.
Why not stop by to wrap up your sightseeing?
A Treasure Chest of Wagashi!
Step inside, and you will be greeted by an enticing display of wagashi made with love.
The shop offers a variety of wagashi, including Baika Murasame (Japanese-style steamed cake with red beans), Monaka (crispy wafers made from pounded rice filled with red bean paste), Kurumi mochi (rice cake with sweet bean paste), and Wasanbon (refined Japanese sugar), a true delight for any wagashi enthusiast.
Adding to the shop’s charm, certificates awarded to past owners are displayed, seemingly embodying the reasons why this 180-year-old tradition has remained unbroken and so deeply loved.

Traditional Taste Passed Down through Generations
This iconic Baika Murasame has been enjoyed by the lords of Kishiwada Castle
and
preserved by each successive owner. Made with red beans sourced from Hokkaido, it is
characterized by a soft, crumbly, and tender texture and a mild sweetness, allowing the
rich flavor of red beans to fill each bite. A must-try wagashi to take home
from
Kishiwada.

Western-style Sweets Full of Happiness
The Nama-Choco Daifuku is a treat that even captivated a famous kabuki actor.
Open the
package lid, and a gentle chocolate aroma drifts out, making the wait worth it. Its
smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate goes perfectly with the soft, chewy
daifuku,
leaving you feeling blissful after every bite.

What are your priorities in making wagashi?
Ms. Shibutani: We want to provide our customers with the best-tasting sweets,
so we avoid using additives and are particular about the flavor.
We also carefully select the packaging to ensure it preserves the taste and quality of our wagashi.
