Hiroshima’s best-known traditional sweets shop, Hachinoki is a must for anyone wanting to taste old-fashioned Japanese confections such as dango, anmitsu, kakigori, and more. The shop first opened in 1958, and half a century later Hachinoki's master still makes his sweet bean jam fresh every day.
The shop occupies a prime downtown corner, but is cozy and intimate inside. If you like, you can start with a simple but nurturing rice ball or bowl of noodles, or you can go straight to dessert. Dango are soft, round dumplings made from rice flour and delicately flavored with various seasonings. The mitarashi dango, basted with sweet, soy-based syrup, are especially popular here. The varied tastes and textures of anmitsu's jumble of jellies, fruits and sweet bean jam make every mouthful different, while the kakigori shaved ices are a wonderful summer treat. They even have a coffee-flavored ice.
Stop in, and leave the downtown rush behind as you linger over the tastes of an earlier time.
