Kameyama sweets
Kameyama is the station Nr.47 at the Tokaido, where the road to Ise starts down south. It is the only station which has gained status as cultural property, because they keep the old look of the town with about 1.5 km of old houses.
The sweet store has been providing his sweet for the Shogun in Kyoto, and has used a special box to put them in, whith many layers and slits for ventilation at the sides. The box is black laquer with golden decoration and the crest of the Tokugawa family.
The sweet is round and simple and made with wasanbon on the outside. It has a history of more than 350 years, it is named
関の戸, 餅菓子. This is the only sweet the store makes and takes pride in keeping the taste. Now there is the 14th generation of owners.
