🎌 Meigetsudo "Hakata TORIMON"

Every year on May 3rd and 4th, the "Hakata Don-Daiko Festival" attracts large crowds. Dressed in Hakata Don-Daiko costumes, people stroll in parades while playing the shamisen, accompanied by the sounds of flutes and taiko drums. In the Hakata dialect, these participants are called "TORIMON." The well-known Western-style confectionery from Hakata that derives its name from this is "Hakata TORIMON." Hakata TORIMON is the signature product of Meigetsudo, a long-established confectionery shop founded in 1929, which adheres to the motto of "Commitment to Hakata." They create various snacks using high-quality ingredients. The delicate white bean paste filling is wrapped in a soft outer layer with a gentle milk aroma and then baked, resulting in a Japanese-Western confection. With just one bite, you can experience the exquisite melt-in-your-mouth texture. "Hakata TORIMON" is also the first souvenir that many Japanese think of when it comes to Hakata.
