Kimuraya is a traditional Japanese sweet manufacturer established in 1882. Kimuraya is well known for its red bean wafer cakes, “Zourokumochi”. We started from a branch bakery of Ginza Kimuraya, in Tokyo. We then introduced red bean wafer cakes to celebrate the formation of Sakura City in 1954, and we are now recognized as a traditional Japanese sweet manufacturer in Sakura City and the surrounding area.
