Choosing a confectionery as a gift for someone close to you can be challenging, so we decided to explore this special feature, Summer Sweets for Others.

 

When we started asking people across the three Hokuriku prefectures, we were delighted to hear about many delicious traditional Japanese sweets. This may reflect the region’s rich confectionery heritage, particularly the city of Kanazawa, which is renowned as one of Japan’s three major centers for confectionery production.

 

Whether you’re selecting a gift or treating yourself, we encourage you to read the entire article. It will inspire you to choose the perfect sweets.

 

And of course, none of the featured sweets are included for advertising purposes. We have not accepted any advertising fees from confectionery shops.
