Situated in the quiet streets of Kitahonmachi, Mikuni Town, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture, 'Tea House Ohka -kanrindo-' is a beloved hidden gem for locals. The interior of the renovated traditional Japanese house exudes a calm atmosphere as if time flows slowly.
The 'Uguisu Mochi' that brought nationwide fame to Ohka. This exquisite wagashi wraps high-quality bean paste in soft mochi dough, crafted in the shape of a bush warbler. One bite will convey the artisan's skill and dedication.
Apart from Uguisu Mochi, seasonal wagashi should not be missed. In spring, sakura mochi; in summer, water manjū; in autumn, chestnut kinton; and in winter, yuzu yōkan – Ohka's skill in expressing seasonal transitions through wagashi is truly remarkable.
It is also recommended to enjoy a leisurely tea time with wagashi. Along with meticulously prepared matcha or fragrant Japanese tea, you can spend a quiet time.
While cherishing tradition, Ohka also makes new attempts suited to the times. Ohka's challenge of introducing a fresh breeze into the world of wagashi will continue.
When you visit Fukui, do not miss exploring the depths of wagashi and the beauty of Japan's seasons at 'Tea House Ohka -kanrindo-'. This will surely become an unforgettable memory.
