01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At Horikuraidou, you can pick up and examine wooden moulds and branding irons used to shape wagashi, traditional Japanese confections, before choosing what to buy. The shelves hold tools used by wagashi artisans, and visitors note that they are available for retail purchase. Comparing the delicate moulds and branding irons offers wagashi enthusiasts a chance to appreciate the tools behind the craft.
Alongside wagashi-making tools, the shop carries baking tools and bread-making equipment. Its selection has the feel of a specialist supplier, but some visitors say they were able to enter and browse at leisure without being trade customers. It is a welcoming stop for anyone looking for tools, as well as those curious about making wagashi.
The sales floor is on the 2th floor of a building alongside the office. Reviews explain that you reach it by climbing a narrow staircase at the side. The shop is open Monday to Friday from 9 to 17, and closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
