Collection: Toraya Yokan

Toraya | Slowly simmering time into a yokan (sweet bean jelly).

Toraya was founded in the early 16th century (around 1520) .
Originating in Kyoto, it is one of the oldest wagashi (Japanese sweets) shops in Japan.

Toraya has long been famous for its yokan (sweet bean jelly).
It also served as an important source of fruit for the royal family and the general public for a long period of time.
For Toraya, wagashi (Japanese sweets) are not popular.
It is a daily routine that exists despite the changing times .

The ingredients for yokan (sweet bean jelly) are very simple:
Adzuki beans, sugar, water.
But it is precisely because it is simple
Every step of the process, every precise control of the heat,
All of these require a long period of accumulation and judgment.

Toraya has always believed that
The flavor doesn't need to be emphasized in the rush.
As long as it's stable, honest, and can be understood over time ,
That's enough.

With the changing times,
Toraya moved from Kyoto to Tokyo.
Settling in Akasaka
But their attitude towards fruit processing has remained consistent—
Respect the season, respect the ingredients, and respect the people who eat it.

Therefore, Toraya's yokan is not just a snack.
Rather, it is something that can be delivered with peace of mind.
