  Kannoya 【かんのや】
  A traditional Japanese confectionary shop with 100 years of history.
  At this shop, they sell Fukushima's famous "Yubeshi"【柚餅子：ゆべし】.
  Yubeshi is a kind of confectionery that uses either Yuzu (Japanese citrus) or walnuts as the main ingredient. It was originally a kind of preserved food but later turned into Japanese confectionery (Wagashi, 和菓子：わがし).
  Yubeshi can be found in many places around Japan, but the ones in Tohoku region mainly use walnuts and has a hint of soy sauce flavour.

  Here, you can try the different kinds of Yubeshi before you buy them.

Cafe and workshops are also available

  You can eat the items you've purchased in the store in the cafe as well.

  Make your one and only Yubeshi here. Steam them for about 20 to 30 minutes and they are ready.

  The process is actually simple than I thought it was going to be.
