Hamaya

Take a stroll north from Kichijoji Station towards Seikei University to find this cutesy little sweets shop, opened in May 2016 and dealing in daily necessities like jam, marmalade, cookies and small pastries, all handmade by the owner. We're especially fond of the marmalade selection, which ranges from tangerine to lemon and includes up to six varieties at any given time. Visit during the right season and you might find yuzu or lime marmalade on sale, all made with citrus fruit from the owner's home prefecture of Shizuoka. Remember to also look out for the ¥100 cookies, which make for great snacks on a weekend walk through the less thoroughly explored parts of Kichijoji.
