Traditional Japanese Sweets at Honke Kikuya in Koriyama

I stopped by this traditional Japanese sweets shop 本家菊屋 (Honke Kikuya) the other day while riding through Koriyama city in Nara prefecture. The store is over 400 years old and is known for serving sweets to Toyotomi Hideyoshi while his younger brother Toyotomi Hidenaga lived in the nearby in Koriyama Castle.
