Since its establishment in 1895, Akasaka Sagamiya has been manufacturing, wholesaling, and directly selling "Anmitsu"* ingredients, mainly agar, and has maintained the manufacturing methods handed down from its forefathers. *Anmitsu is a dessert containing various ingredients, such as sliced fruit, azuki bean paste, agar gelatin cubes, black syrup, etc. elaborately stacked in horizontal layers.
The company prides itself on using the highest quality natural herbs from the seven islands of Izu and West Izu. The artisans carefully assess the characteristics of the herbs, blend them, and create the ideal "taste, aroma, texture(both as it is chewed and when swallowed), consistency, and color".
Far removed from mass-produced agar products, the original flavor and texture of the agar has been remarkably well preserved.
Because it is rich in minerals and dietary fiber, anmitsu is popular among people of all ages. In recent years, it has become a popular low-calorie Japanese dessert.
In addition, you can taste Tokoroten, a refreshing topping, and Kuzumochi, which boasts a rich kinako (soybean flour) flavor.
Please enjoy the rich, natural flavor that can only be obtained through the handmade process that has been passed down from generation to generation.
