The Kubara Honke Group will open a new flagship store, Tokyo Ginza Kayanoya, on November 21 under its brand “Kayanoya,” developed by Kubara Honke. The design supervision is by Kengo Kuma. As a flagship store that showcases the appeal of Japan’s dashi culture to domestic and international audiences, it will offer a carefully curated selection of exclusive dashi ingredients and high-quality gift items available only at this location.
The first floor, embodying Kayanoya’s philosophy of devotion to ingredients—an origin of the brand—features the signature dashi products along with more than 20 types of dried foods sold individually. Visitors can experience the richness of Japanese food culture through products such as carefully selected bonito flakes, kombu (kelp), charcoal-grilled flying fish (ago), and dried ago niboshi gathered from across Japan.
The store will also introduce five varieties of “Kayanoya Select Ingredients Dried Food Kits” themed around regional specialties (Tokyo, Nagoya, Noto, Kyoto, Hakata), each accompanied by local recipe suggestions. Exclusive products, including “Special Kayanoya Dashi” and “Dashi Chazuke – Eel,” will also be available.
On the second floor, where customers can enjoy shopping at a relaxed pace, the lineup centers around refined gift items. These include exclusive products such as “Specially Tailored Miyabi Dashi,” “Specially Tailored Sansho Nama Shichimi,” and Kayanoya Special Cookies created by “Régis Dé,” the renowned French pastry shop in Ichijoji, Kyoto—all available only at this store.
The store will also offer “Tokyo Ginza Kayanoya Limited Dashi Inari” as a gift item, as well as beautifully crafted utensils related to Japanese cuisine. With an added gallery function, the store provides visitors with a rich cultural experience.
The store is located at 3-4-8 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and occupies 60 tsubo in total—30 tsubo per floor. Opening hours are planned from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Designed by Kengo Kuma, the building features a warm exterior characterized by layered cedar lattice eaves reminiscent of thatched roofs.
