【Mizuki Fruit Candy Specialty Shop】

Mizuki opened its doors on July 7, 2023 — Tanabata, Japan’s Star Festival 🌠 The shop sits right across the street from TSUTAYA Hikari-no-Mori, and you can spot it easily thanks to the bold signboard and colorful flag banners. There’s also plenty of parking right in front 🅿

The flag banners with cute fruit candy illustrations are adorable! Here’s the shop ✨
It’s a takeout-only spot serving fruit candy and other sweet treats!Here’s the menu at “Mizuki Fruit Candy Specialty Shop” ✨

I didn’t try the grape candy this time, but it looks irresistible… Shine Muscat candy is incredibly popular!
It was already sold out by the time I got there!!!
The kiwi candy makes a serious visual impact! That tangy kiwi paired with sweet candy sounds like such a winning combo ✨ A whole new take on fruit candy ✨
The sparkle 💎 is what catches your eye first!
It comes in a cup, so it’s easy for kids to eat and perfect for sharing with the whole family ✨
Highly recommended!
Churros aren’t easy to find around here. That crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside treat is a hit with both kids and grown-ups! The squash drinks are homemade fruit sodas — refreshing and perfect for hot summer days ✨ The kiwi squash is loaded with real fruit pulp 💛 The orange squash is calling my name too!
And the coffee is wonderfully affordable ✨
While the kids enjoy their sweets, parents can sneak in a quick coffee break!

By the register, traditional bekko-ame (Japanese tortoiseshell-style hard candy) is sold for just 50 yen apiece!Each one has a tiny star inside — incredibly cute 🤩
