200years
in Nihonbashi,in the center of Tokyo 200years in Nihonbashi,in the center of Tokyo

In the Edo period, at the foot of Nihonbashi bridge,
there was a certain sweets stand
which was gaining a favorable reputation
throughout Edo.
Pulling the stand was a young boy named Eitaro.
Eitaro Sohonpo began as Izutsuya, and this year
marks
our 200th year in business. We have
continued to create a range of tastes of Tokyo,
including Kintsuba and Umeboshi Ame.
We keep our history,
which has grown together with
Tokyo, close to our hearts,
and the tastes remain
unchanged to this day.
Here, we introduce our special production method and
our journey over the past 200 years.
