Yusenpei Wafer-Making Workshop
Yusenpei Wafer-Making Workshop
Make a traditional local snack using a 130-year-old method
Tohtoumiya Honpo is the only shop that still carries on the traditional method of making pure, single-sheet hand-grilled yusenpei wafers, which began in the Meiji period (1868–1912). They preserve the spirit of tradition through their inherited techniques.
A skilled artisan will guide you through the history of Unzen Onsen, the qualities of its hot springs, the background and production of yusenpei, and even offer a tasting of the hot spring water. The yusenpei you bake yourself will undoubtedly taste exceptional. Give it a try!
