Okamedo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture; CEO: Takahiko Mori), which has been producing Japanese sweets in the Mikawa region of Aichi Prefecture for over 70 years, is hosting a monthly 'Niko Niko Morning Activity' at its Fujisawa store, featuring live performances of the erhu, guitar, and piano.

Soft erhu melodies. The aroma of a freshly prepared morning breakfast. And a leisurely flowing morning time.

'In the midst of busy everyday life, we want to deliver a time to stop for a moment and center one's heart'— This is a new local cultural event by Okamedo born from such a desire.

A special morning where 'Japanese harmony' and 'healing' are balanced, something that can only be created by a Japanese sweets shop.

Please enjoy a 'heart-unwinding morning time' that slightly enriches your daily life.

◆ Live music that resonates with the heart, woven by the erhu, guitar, and piano

The erhu is a traditional instrument originating from China. Its somewhat nostalgic and sorrowful tone naturally blends into Japanese landscapes and Japanese-style spaces.

It possesses a rich and delicate expressive power that makes it hard to believe it is played with only two strings. The gentle melodies of the guitar and piano overlap with it, wrapping the store in a soft atmosphere.

The performed musical pieces mainly consist of seasonal songs, structured to be enjoyed even by first-time listeners. You can enjoy the impact and warmth unique to live music performed right before your eyes, together with Japanese sweets.

A tone that permeates the heart and the aroma of morning breakfast. We deliver a 'healing morning time' to be tasted with all five senses.

◆ 'Enjoying music at a Japanese sweets shop'—a new local culture

Okamedo aims to be a 'Japanese sweets shop loved by the community' while also being a 'place' that connects people, culture, and the local area.

In recent years, while interest in 'morning activities' and 'personal time' has increased, the time to rest one's heart in daily life has actually decreased.

That is exactly why Okamedo is challenging itself to create a space where local residents can take a breather and adjust their hearts, rather than just being a 'place to buy Japanese sweets.'

Japanese sweets and music. A seemingly unexpected combination gives birth to a new local culture.

Okamedo will continue to aim to be a 'place that slightly enriches the daily life of the community.'
