A long-running Omiya shop selling handmade dango, kusa mochi, daifuku, rice cakes, onigiri, sekihan, and other traditional foods.

Why it surfaced

Kadoya says it has been loved locally for more than 100 years and remains a three-generation family operation. Its cakes are made one by one with premium Kogane-mochi rice and traditional mortar-and-pestle methods—a small, vivid record of local food culture.
