Minamoto Kitchoan

Japanese sweet shop

44 Piccadilly
London, London W1J ODS

Amid traditional seasonal decor and oriental decorum, Minamoto Kitchoan beautifully displays the finest culture-rich confectionery from Japan. Unlike the western world's concept of a sweet treat, these Japanese-style desserts are largely fruit based, using only fresh and natural ingredients and traditional culinary arts. Typical creations include endless variations of Wagashi made from Azuki beans, rice flour and sugar. Happily, these sweets are actually good for you, using staples like fruit, berries, nuts and grain that are rich in vegetable protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre and low in animal fat. Every one of these delicate delicacies sits pretty in exquisite little boxes. In addition to the London outlet, these exclusive and original stores can be found in New York, Taipei, Honolulu, Hong Kong and Singapore.
