Ganso Kataboro Honpo is a Japanese confectionery shop with a long history, founded in 1894. The shop is located in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, and their signature product, Kataboro, has been loved by many people for over 100 years.

Kataboro is a simple yet uniquely "hard" confectionery made by baking wheat flour dough twice and sprinkling it with ginger sugar. The proper way to eat it is to lick it first to soften it, then chew it. The mild flavor and simple sweetness of ginger spreads throughout your mouth.

As a natural food without colorings or preservatives, it is a sweet that is gentle on the body. The retro atmosphere of the store is also attractive. We recommend stopping by to experience the traditional taste when you are sightseeing in Nagahama.
