The oldest continuously operating dagashiya in Tokyo is Kami-kawaguchiya, which was established in 1781. [2] It is located on the grounds of Kishibojin Shrine and served as the model for the dagashiya in the Studio Ghibli film Only Yesterday. Kokonotsu did not want to inherit the shop in the first place which made Yō Shikada cry since the family business is just a small sweets shop. When Yō asked him on what he will be in the future, he became nervous about it since he wanted to be a mangaka and when Yō found his work, he was embarrassed. the Shidare corporation. We find out that Hotaru has a real sweet tooth, knowing pretty much anything needed to know about candy. We get to meet the 2 other main characters after Hotaru gets Kokonutsu to make a delicious new umaibo mixture. These 2 characters are the twins Says and Tou. Says runs a cafe and Tou kind of just sits there but is a likeable character. Saya is a timid, cute girl. She makes people think there's going to be a love rivalry between Hotaru and Saya but there isn't. The series serves as a way to sell Dagashi (candy). It's quite a good way to advertise something because you know a lot of people will watch it.

While far fewer dagashi stores exist today, there are still some around as well as convenience stores that sell limited types of dagashi. Dagashi are also often displayed at cultural exhibits as an aspect of the Showa period. The other great aspect about the show is the characters. Ever get tired of shows that have this massive list of characters that it makes it Kokonotsu often gets flustered by Hotaru's appearance while she is unaware of her appeal. They both hang out a lot, to the point where Kokonotsu gets suspicious when she didn't show up at the candy shop for a few days. He gets annoyed at her schemes sometimes, but is too afraid to say anything about it. At one point, he thought that he was restricting her freedom by refusing to inherit the shop (which was the reason she stayed) and he started to show concern for her in which she was thankful for. Throughout the course of the series, it becomes clear that Kokonotsu has developed romantic feelings for Hotaru.Kabayaki, especially, is a good example of dagashi that works for all generations. It has sweet, spicy, salty, and even sour flavors, and adults love pairing it with a good beer or sake.

You really could just jump between episodes if you're a bit lazy (or just want to re-watch) since it's really doesn't have a major plot. The plot is there so the main girl have at least *some* purpose. In my opinion, if there's no major plot, only a girl with a love of This cheap Japanese candy box was one of our favourites because it reminded us of our time working in the country. Most of the treats featured are either from Japanese supermarkets or local convenience stores. A mystery box curated by Mashi Box that features food and drinks that are based on the anime Naruto. Perfect for the fans of this series! | Image from mymashiboxKokonotsu and Tō are childhood friends and classmates. When they're together, they usually talk about girls and popularity. Tō is the only person who can tell what Kokonotsu is thinking which causes Kokonotsu to be in denial. Tō's perverted behavior can make Kokonotsu uncomfortable at times. First thing to get out of the way: A good portion of the show relies heavily on comedy. It sells comedy through advertising of the dagashi. Hotaru is pretty much the mascot girl as she tries to appeal the wonderfulness of dagashi. From simple explanations, innovative lectures, or expressive dialogues, Hotaru is actually pretty good at convincing. Plus, she has the look (or “it” factor) to sell her product. The way this show is set up is that each episode has Hotaru trying ways to win Kokonotsu or others over with her convincing. Her personality is rather eccentric and overly dramatic whenever it involves candy. A good example is when she gets a mouth ulcer but still desperately wants to taste candy like in a ritualistic manner. Throughout the show, Hotaru also shows a vast knowledge about candy. The way she tries to convince others is rather overdramatic including getting others to play strange games or activities. So in retrospect, this is the type of show with little emphasis on plot but more on selling its premise.

Dagashi Kashi peddles is "glossy, carefree romantic comedy anime" — Zac Bertschy Dagashi Kashi is that show that just doesn't stop being sweet. Take that literally or not I mean it both ways. This season in particular was much better than the last especially since we got an excellent new character (Owari Hajime) along with Beniyutaka and the hilarious shenanigans just went on. Hotaru is a rich heir to a prominent candy manufacturing family, whose airheaded-ness is surpassed by only her obsession with eating candy. So much so, that she even frequently hallucinates that she is talking to, making out with, or otherwise in 'actual' love with candy. She a freak, though. Overall, you will definitely enjoy this anime if you had a childhood that can relate to this anime. If you don't, just take this experience to build a list of Dagashi that you want to buy when you visit Japan for a holiday.
