Kameido Tenjin Shrine is known as "Tokyo's best wisteria viewing spot" and is a popular spring destination that attracts many visitors every year. Over 50 wisteria plants bloom within the shrine grounds, and they are lit up at night, allowing visitors to enjoy different expressions of wisteria during the day and night. Funabashiya was founded in 1805 (Bunka 2) within the grounds of Kameido Tenjin Shrine. For over 220 years since then, the company has walked hand-in-hand with this community. During the Wisteria Festival, Funabashiya will open a limited-time store within the Kameido Tenjin Shrine grounds, selling sweets such as Kuzumochi and Anmitsu. This will be an opportunity to enjoy Funabashiya's Japanese sweets while admiring the wisteria flowers. *Kameido Tenjin Shrine Grounds Store Operating Period: Scheduled from Saturday, April 4, 2026, to Wednesday, May 6, 2026 ■Wisteria Festival Limited Edition Products

[New Product] Kuzumochi Lactic Acid Bacteria Wisteria Soda (Main Store Limited)

A new product, available exclusively for eat-in at the main store, expressing the colors of wisteria in a drink. This three-layered drink combines Funabashiya's white syrup with a special peach syrup made from peach juice, layered with kanten and butterfly pea soda containing Kuzumochi lactic acid bacteria, and topped with foam made from "drinkable Kuzumochi lactic acid bacteria." By combining the gentle texture of kanten with the light mouthfeel of mild carbonation, the drink is designed to offer different textures as you sip. When served, the distinct colors of each layer are characteristic, and stirring it changes the color of the butterfly pea, turning the whole drink into a pale wisteria color, spreading the peach flavor. This is a Wisteria Festival limited-edition drink where you can enjoy both visual changes and evolving flavors. Sales Period: Friday, April 10, 2026, to Thursday, April 30, 2026 Price: 800 yen (tax included) Sales Location: Kameido Tenjin-mae Main Store (Eat-in)

About Funabashiya Founded in 1805 during the Edo period, Funabashiya is a Kanto-style Kuzumochi shop celebrating its 221st anniversary in 2026. Funabashiya's Kuzumochi is a rare fermented food among Japanese sweets, made by fermenting "wheat starch" with lactic acid bacteria for 450 days before steaming. This long-term lactic acid fermentation creates its unique chewiness and elasticity. Furthermore, driven by the desire to deliver natural products to customers, the company has consistently adhered to natural manufacturing methods without using preservatives. This traditional Japanese sweet, being a fermented food and free of preservatives, is now attracting attention from health-conscious individuals.
