Nikko Jingoro Senbei | Ishidaya

Light texture and salted butter flavor: a classic Nikko souvenir

If you are looking for a souvenir that is not sweet, we recommend Ishidaya's "Nikko Jingoro Senbei." Light rice crackers combining butter oil flavor with saltiness, so you will want just one more.
The name comes from Hidari Jingoro, known for the "Sleeping Cat" at Nikko Toshogu. Handing them over while sharing memories of your visit is part of the charm of a Nikko souvenir.

Nikko Ningyoyaki | Mishimaya

Ningyoyaki full of Nikko character, down to the expressions of the Three Wise Monkeys

"Nikko Ningyoyaki Mishimaya" sells ningyoyaki cakes shaped like motifs symbolic of Nikko, such as the Three Wise Monkeys. What stands out is their three-dimensional form. The owner, who studied sculpture, makes the prototypes himself, and you will find yourself admiring the fine expressions before you eat them.
