Nagoya Japanese Sweets Special Feature
Nagoya is full of shops selling savory Japanese sweets. And there's a reason; successive generations of lords from 400 years ago relished tea ceremony, and as tea is drunk with sweets, Japanese confectioneries became plentiful.
This special feature highlights top Japanese confectioners from those with roots back to the time of Nagoya's ancient lords to ones beloved by local Nagoyans.
Japanese sweets are known for their easy digestive properties and athletes even eat them as a source of energy before going out on the field. So, have some for yourself and spend a fun, energetic day touring Nagoya!
