Traditional handmade candy shop on Nakamise-dori

Traditional candy shop on the Nakamise-dori approach to Senso-ji, in business since 1894. They make handmade Japanese hard candies (amezaiku) and colourful sweets right in the shop. The candy-cutting demonstrations are worth watching — craftsmen shape hot sugar into intricate shapes with scissors and chopsticks. Individual pieces and boxed sets both make good souvenirs.
