Baikatei, Established in 1935 – A Tradition of Handcrafted Japanese Sweets in Kagurazaka, Tokyo
Founded in 1935, Baikatei is a long-established Japanese confectionery shop located in the heart of Kagurazaka, Tokyo. With a rich history, Baikatei continues to create traditional Japanese sweets while adhering to the principles of handmade craftsmanship and no additives. Their warm, hand -made products captivate customers, with some times of the day being so busy that the shop is filled to capacity, reflecting its immense popularity.
Baikatei's signature sweet, the "Tempura Ayu Monaka," along with seasonal sweets and beautifully crafted confections, offer delicate and elegant flavors. The use of seasonal ingredients ensures that each visit presents a new, refreshing experience as the sweets change to reflect the time of year.
We had the privilege of closely following the production process of these exquisite sweets. From early morning, we observed the entire process of the artisans at work, immersing ourselves in the tradition and skill that go into every piece. It was a rare opportunity to experience the warmth of handmade sweets and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are made with no additives.
