Japan Wagashi Association. “Wagashi” is “sweets”
This site is pretty intense- now you can link to hundreds of sweets stores all over Japan.
There is also a section with an index of all their members, indexed in several ways:
- every shop in Tokyo, sorted by district
- by the shop name in a giant list
- by sweet variety name, sorted by first letter
I think I need to make a big printout of the “shops by sweet name” list and make it a checklist, working my way through the alphabet until I’ve eaten every variety or I drop dead.
