This time in Tokyo where we're gonna be visiting a place called Kankome, which is a Dagashiya where they're selling very old and traditional candy from Showa period.

So let's go and meet Otousan and Okasan and eat some candy!

Today we're in Nakano, an area known for its narrow streets filled with small Izakayas, bars and other fun establishments.

Nakano is one of the most densely populated areas in Tokyo.

However, it does give up a very homely vibe, especially when you visit the quieter market districts where small shops are just starting their day.

One of these is also a Japanese traditional snack store called Kankome.

Kankome is run by Kinzaburo san, and his wife, Keiko san.

As it is quite early in the morning, we are the first customers.

They welcomed us with smiles and interesting stories.

Dagashiya, Japanese traditional snack store, originated in Meiji period.

Dagashi stores used to be especially popular before the age of convenience stores.

At that time, young students would stop by after classes, and enjoy super cheap and tasty candy just for 10 yen a piece.

I think the rice pops in Slovakia are originally from Japan.

We would take our own rice, roll it, when we let it explode, it becomes like that. - Really?

When we take some corn there, it becomes like a popcorn.

It's like a rice popcorn? - Yes, a rice popcorn.

Dagashiya store Kankome has been around since the 90s.

It started out as a rice selling shop, but due to the shortage of homegrown rice in 2005 that had people in panic, Kinzaburo san decided to change the business and aimed for something that had been missing in his district.

The store next door is a rice shop, yet rice stopped selling as much as before.

But since the store has such wide space, I wanted to start something which is not in this arcade.

So the snack store only has around 27 to 28 years of history.

The rice shop on the other hand, I'm the 2nd generation, and now the 3rd, my child is running the business.

The rice shop has been running for nearly 90 years.

We decided to give these nostalgic snacks a try.

If you're going to eat it, stick a straw in.
