Taroyaki Sohonpo

This shop has a lively atmosphere, with a Taisho-style kura (storehouse) given a modern makeover. Here you can enjoy oban-yaki, which locals also call "taroyaki."
Through the window at the storefront, you can see the owner making taroyaki. It is an appealing sight that makes you want to stop in and buy some.

Taroyaki with sweet red bean paste is a specialty, made with a dough using its own blended flour and generously filled with homemade an (sweet bean paste) made from Tokachi-grown azuki beans.
The larger-grained bean paste has a firm texture and is very filling and satisfying.

In addition, the lineup includes white bean paste, cream, uguisu (green tea), and chocolate. They are delicious eaten hot off the griddle, and they still taste good cooled down if you take them home as a souvenir.

There is also a cafe space on the second floor of the shop, where you can enjoy them freshly made.
The house-roasted coffee and the shaved ice made with homemade ice and homemade syrup are also popular. On a hot summer day, why not relax on the second floor and enjoy a bowl of shaved ice?
