History<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

In November of Meiji 23 (1890), the founder, Shunji Miyao, was inspired by kawara senbei exhibited from Kobe at the Domestic Industrial Exhibition held in Ueno and started a manufacturing and retail business.Later, in Meiji 29 (1896), a branch was opened at Asakusa Kaminarimon, which became the current main store.Since then, over five generations, the methods, flavors, and teachings have been preserved and the tradition continues to be passed on to future generations.<\/p>\n\n
