Located in Setoda-cho, Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, halfway along the Shimanami Kaido, Koueido Confectionery is a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop that has been loved by locals for many years. Setoda-cho is known as one of Japan's leading lemon producing areas, and Koueido Confectionery's signature product is the "Lemon Cake" that uses plenty of Setoda lemons, a local specialty. The gentle taste of the moist dough and refreshing lemon flavor is loved by many people across generations. Another hidden specialty is Setoda Manju. The old-fashioned, simple taste is nostalgic and is very popular among locals. In addition, various types of sweets such as cakes made with seasonal fruits and baked goods are lined up in the showcase, and even just looking at them is fun.

The interior of the store has a nostalgic atmosphere of the past, and is a somewhat relaxing space. It is visited by a wide range of people, from local regulars to tourists.

Another popular Japanese sweets shop is Mishimaya Manju Shop near the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art.

Shiomachi Shopping Street is also home to Oka Tetsu Shoten, a simple croquette shop run by a popular grandmother who often appears in the media.
