It’s pretty much expected to bring a beautifully presented box of sweets home from Japan’s capital city. And there’s nowhere better to shop for these traditional teatime sweets than at the flagship shop of the traditional confectionery purveyor, Toraya. The sweets, which are practically little pieces of artwork, change according to the season, so your family and friends back home can look forward to cherry blossom-flavored (and shaped) sweets in the spring or robust chestnut items during the fall.
