Kashiya Isa, a confectionery shop renovated from a 150-year-old storehouse along the Narusawa Fujikawaguchiko Sen route, will open on November 2024, 11.

Opening the heavy door reveals the charm of 150 years of tradition and history, while the beauty of old and new coexist side by side, thanks to the craftsmanship of the carpenters and tile makers.

The store is lined with handmade baked goods created by Shimada Renaho, who has gained experience working at patisseries and confectionery factories in Tokyo.
The concept is "a little treat for adults." The unique baked goods, with the aroma of spices and herbs, are sure to brighten up any adult's blissful tea time.

What stands out is his uncompromising original recipes, which he creates through repeated trial and error until he is satisfied that the dish is delicious.

Shimada's top recommendation is "Kasuri Methi Chocolate". He first encountered this spice at a store selling it by weight in Hokkaido, and was fascinated by its aroma, thinking "I want to use it in sweets someday!!" He combined his long-cherished desire to use Kasuri Methi with Valrhona chocolate from France to create an adult chocolate cookie with a sweet aroma and bittersweet flavor.
The mother hand-wrote each price card with great care and included a personal message.

The first thing I chose was "Sake Kasu Pepper". These crackers are made with plenty of sake lees from Ide Brewery, and have a strong peppery flavor that will make you addicted! They are full-bodied and fragrant, making them the perfect snack to go with your drink. The refreshing combination of dill and orange makes these sables crunchy and delicious, and they go great with fragrant wine.

On the day of the visit, the baked tart was a Japanese pear and ginger chocolate tart, and the seasonal muffin was an orange and cardamom muffin, which was just my taste!!
The tangy spiciness and bitter chocolate tart is gently enveloped in the refreshing sweetness of the Japanese pear, making for an exciting moment. The refreshing mix of orange and cardamom, with their sweet and sour aromas, creates an unparalleled harmony.

This is an irresistible lineup for spice lovers, but for those who don't, there are also flavors such as the melt-in-the-mouth "Walnut Maple" and "Sesame and Banana Pound Cake."

Gift boxes are also available, making it a great choice for giving to loved ones.
In the future, they are planning to make a cute and stylish cookie tin, but also a cookie assortment. This case is also a masterpiece that was made with great care, and it feels great in your hand. I definitely want to buy this!!
