It's a magical yokan whose design changes every time you cut it. The world of yokan depicts the crescent moon turning into a full moon, birds flapping their wings, and night gradually falling. This is a product that pursues a modern way to enjoy Japanese sweets while preserving traditional manufacturing methods.

Nagatoya is a long-established Japanese sweets shop in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. ``Fly Me to The Moon Yokan Fantasia'' was created during the long history of a Japanese sweets shop that started in 1848. In 2017, we became the first confectionery shop in the Tohoku region to win the Good Design Award.

Fly Me to The Moon, which is used in the name of the confectionery, is an old jazz number. It's a love song that expresses your feelings for the person you love. The culture of Japanese sweets is to give a name to a sweet and eat it while enjoying the worldview that is embedded in it. It incorporates the sophisticated measures unique to craftsmen.

What will surprise you is not only the beautiful appearance, but also the quality of the taste.

Different ingredients are used for each part, such as champagne and lemon, and the balance of the combinations is carefully considered. The top is topped with cranberries and walnuts, and goes great with tea and wine.

The packaging is beautiful and very ornate. It's packed with elements that make it a great gift.

This shop is lined with handmade jellies that look like a jewelry box. That's the jelly house.

A jelly specialty store that started operating in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture in 1988. It seems that at first it was a small shop built in a renovated garden at home. We have been particular about handmade jelly ever since we opened, and each jelly is made with a lot of love and care.

The jelly is colorfully decorated, and its sparkling transparency makes you want to look at it forever. It is clearly divided into layers by color, so the cross section is also eye-catching. It's also good to share and eat with several people.

Of course, not only does it look great, but it also tastes great. The soft and chewy jelly also comes in seasonal flavors, so you'll want to come back again and again.
