Fascinated by the tile rice crackers on display from Kobe, he opened a manufacturing and sales shop. The name of the store was given as Kibundo, as it is said that the residence of the wealthy merchant Kinokuniya Bunzaemon used to be there. In 1899, a branch was opened in Asakusa Kaminarimon, which later became the main store. *From “Miyao Shunji Den” (1939) edited by Ryotaro Kurotani. Around 1898, management was handed over to the second generation Kuro Tezuka, who was the manager of the Asakusa branch. In 1948, the company was established as Kibundo Souhonten Co., Ltd. Third generation Joji Tezuka takes office. In 1988, the fourth generation, Shinya Tezuka, was appointed. In 2015, the fifth generation Yusuke Tezuka was appointed. Currently, there are two branches (all Renwake) in Higashi Nihonbashi and Azabu Juban. Kibundo, a well-known old shop that was founded in 1899 near Asakusa Kaminarimon, constantly carefully selects the raw materials and makes products using a manufacturing method that is not disclosed to outsiders. We have a wide variety of products, including Kibun’s tile rice crackers, ningyo-yaki, Kibun manju, quail castella-yaki, and shochikubai castella-yaki. As the fifth generation owner, I believe it is my mission to protect the manufacturing methods, flavors, and teachings that have been cultivated over four generations since the founder, pass them on to future generations as traditions, and cherish the encounters with our many customers. Masu. Thank you for your interest in gifts and souvenirs. Kibundo Sohonten Co., Ltd. Yusuke Tezuka
