Although it is being said that Japanese traditional sweets can’t be made without white sugar, well all items this sweets shop are made without it! How?! The sweetness comes from agave syrup made out of agave plant. Agave syrup can be found in supermarkets but it is still not a major sweetener in Japan yet.

The most popular menu is Daifuku "Fukumeguri". There are two flavors: tsubuan (grain bean paste) and smooth bean paste, 350 yen (tax excluded) each. Smooth bean paste is Meguri’s signature bean paste! Unlike the regular Koshi-an (strained bean paste), all of the red bean skin and lye are cooked until they are very smooth. This process makes gentle and really smooth! Red beans are grown by natural cultivation so that you can enjoy the natural sweetness of red beans.
