Founded in Tenpō 8 (1837), a sweets parlor that has stood for nearly 190 years on the same corner of Nihonbashi-Ningyōchō.
The shop takes its name, "Hatsune," from the celebrated drum — the Hatsune no Tsuzumi — of the kabuki play Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura. A fitting name, our predecessor used to say, for Ningyōchō, the old district of puppet-makers and theaters.
We select domestic kanten agar, azuki, and brown sugar, and serve anmitsu and other sweets one bowl at a time, alongside gyūhi mochi made by hand.
