Founded in 1907 (Meiji 40)

Delicious Japanese sweets that fit into everyday life in Fukagawa, where downtown energy and history live on

Fukagawa Iseya is located in the Fukagawa area, home to many famous sites such as Fukagawa Fudo-do and Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine.For over 100 years since its founding, it has continued to make traditional wagashi such as dango, daifuku, and nori rolls using carefully selected ingredients and skilled craftsmanship, earning the love of many local fans.Its signature dango and daifuku are made with domestically produced rice flour and Hokkaido azuki beans.No additives are used at all.The belief held since its founding—that making sweets in the morning and eating them the same day delivers the true taste of wagashi—is still carried on today.In addition to standard items, seasonal wagashi are offered, such as strawberry daifuku in winter, sakura mochi in spring, and mizu daifuku in summer.There is also an attached dining area where you can enjoy the specialty Fukagawa clam rice, set meals, and of course wagashi.

This long-established, community-based shop is filled with the owner’s wish that people take a relaxing break with delicious wagashi even in busy daily life.

History

Founded in Meiji 40 (1907) in Fukagawa, it suffered two fires due to the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo air raids
and later opened its shop at the entrance to the approach of Fukagawa Fudo-do.From that time, it has been widely used as a resting place for visitors, selling rice balls and side dishes as meal alternatives for worshippers.Because of this history, the shop still offers bento meals and side dishes in addition to wagashi.While preserving and passing on everyday flavors, the shop also actively creates original wagashi such as “Fukagawa Chiyoko,” a fresh chocolate wrapped in gyuhi, developed by the fourth-generation owner.
