Founded in 1620 during the early Edo period, this Japanese confectionery shop is famous for its tiger-patterned dorayaki.
Toraya Honpo's signature "Torayaki" is a tiger-patterned pastry filled with Hokkaido azuki bean paste. In addition to the classic bean paste, seasonal and limited-edition flavors such as cherry blossom, matcha, and Setouchi lemon are also available, making it a fun treat to try and compare. This popular product, which is said to sell 1.5 million units annually, is affordable and known as a staple Fukuyama souvenir. The azuki beans in the Torayaki bean paste are carefully sourced from Hokkaido.

In addition to Torayaki, the store also offers roll cakes, Mont Blanc, lemon cake, and hassaku daifuku.

Recently, look-alike sweets such as takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and gyoza made from Western confectionery have also become popular, as they look great on social media.

The store's bright exterior and interior, with a wide selection of items from gifts to travel snacks, make it a welcoming atmosphere for tourists.

You can also purchase them at Sanste Station at Fukuyama Station and at the Fukuyama Service Area (at the end of the Sanyo Expressway).

[Trivia]
- Torayaki is a tiger-patterned dorayaki (a type of pancake) invented in the mid-Edo period. It's a long-selling Toraya Honpo specialty that continues to evolve today.
- Limited-edition regional flavors such as Setouchi Lemon Torayaki are also popular.
