Kadokuwa Shoten

Kado Kua Shoten is a long-established tsukudani shop located in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, dating back to the late Edo period. Committed to handmade, additive-free products, it offers a variety of tsukudani, including local wasps. The tsukudani made from sweet and savory cooked wasp larvae, known as "hebo," is especially renowned and available only for a short period in autumn. Its fragrant aroma and rich flavor make it worth trying at least once.
