Nihonbashi Main Store

【About Eitaro Sohonpo】

Founded in 1818 (Bunsei 1). A Japanese confectionery manufacturing and sales company headquartered in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. The company name originates from Eitaro (later the third Yasubei Hosoda), who opened the Nihonbashi Main Store in 1857 (Ansei 4). It has the longest history as a candy manufacturer affiliated with the National Candy Manufacturers Association, and its products include not only candies but also fresh confections, yokan, baked goods, and anmitsu. In addition, it operates specialized brands based on concepts such as "Ameya Eitaro" (specializing in candy), "Nihonbashi Eitaro" (casual packaging), "Tokyo Pissen" (Tokyo souvenir), and "Karada ni Eitaro" (health-conscious). Its business partners range widely from department stores, mass retailers, and transportation hubs to shrines and temples. The company culture respects "Onko Chishin" (learning from the past to understand the present), and in its manufacturing facilities, not only the latest machinery but also traditional techniques and equipment are still in active use.
