"Izumiya Denbei" is a new brand launched as a Harunire Terrace store by "Izumiya," a long-established confectionery shop in Karuizawa founded in 1920 (Taisho 9). The shop offers a wide variety of treats, ranging from traditional sweets to highly original creations that incorporate Shinshu agricultural products, regardless of whether they are Japanese or Western style.
While various seasonal Shinshu specialties such as apples, chestnuts, and sweet potatoes are used in the sweets, the one thing you can only taste at this shop is the "Hanamame Dango," made with Nagano Prefecture's specialty, runner beans. The dango, made with smooth rice cakes using Nagano's Gorobei rice and topped with runner bean paste and large runner beans, is truly the taste of local Shinshu.

Nakayama's Jam "Asama Blueberry Jam"

Jam is synonymous with Karuizawa souvenirs. "Nakayama's Jam" is a long-established shop founded in 1905 (Meiji 38) after the first generation, Johei Nakayama, learned how to make jam from foreign missionaries visiting Karuizawa. The jam, which has been passed down for over 100 years, is made using only granulated sugar and seasonal fruits. It is characterized by the gentle, natural sweetness of the ingredients, and is delicious not only on freshly baked bread but also as a sauce for desserts and dishes.

There are over 30 varieties of jam available, ranging from classic strawberry to Kyoho grape, Karuizawa-grown rhubarb, and flavors that let you feel the bounty of the Shinshu land, such as mulberry, bayberry, currant, and lingonberry. It is hard to choose which one to pick, but if you are choosing your first jar, we recommend the Asama blueberry jam, a specialty of Karuizawa. The flavor, with its perfect balance of acidity and mellow sweetness spreading in your mouth, also pairs perfectly with black tea.

Karuizawa Delicatessen "Assorted Set A"

In Karuizawa, the food culture left behind by the missionaries who developed it as a summer resort is being preserved and passed down. "Karuizawa Delicatessen" is one such place. Since its founding in 1980 (Showa 55), their hams and sausages, made using a direct-fire smoking method passed down directly from German craftsmen, are a Karuizawa specialty that continues to be loved not only by locals but also by those visiting their vacation homes. By smoking with cherry wood logs instead of chips, the original flavor of the meat is brought out, and it is highly acclaimed for its rich taste and aroma.

At the store, it is our policy to slice items like ham and bacon only after receiving an order. Since you can purchase each product in 100g increments, you can buy a little bit of many different items to compare their flavors. If you are unsure what to choose, we recommend the "Assortment A Set," which includes two types of wieners, two types of sausages, bacon, and loin ham. Packed with popular items, this set is guaranteed to be a hit as a travel souvenir or a gift for a small gathering. It is sure to be a great choice for any occasion.
