What we value

Saki-aji

A place where Hondaya and its customers meet, in harmony with the changing of the seasons.

Naka-aji

A taste of elegant simplicity that reflects the scenery of Yamaguchi.

Ato-aji

The aftertaste is enhanced thanks to a rich saki-aji and naka-aji. We hope that people and nature interconnect, enriching life, and that the landscape created by confectionery and people has an enjoyable aftertaste.
