Was just in there today and got a couple sweet treats. The young lady that was there helped me decide what I wanted and explained to me what things were! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. Then possibly the owner, another very nice lady, gave us 2 free sweets and took our picture in front of a beautiful wall. 10/10 experience and highly recommend stopping in!
If you have been to and enjoyed food, especially things like mochi, many and other sweet delicacies, you will also love the offerings here.
The presentation, when you walk into the store, takes you back you the department stores of Japan, if you have had that experience before.
The three pieces I had were great!

Minamoto Kitchoan Ala Moana Center Store is a unique Japanese-oriented bakery and collectibles store offering high-quality and authentic products. The store is located on the first floor of the Ala Moana Shopping Center, and visitors can find a wide range of products, including chocolate daifuku, Gozenguri Rice cakes with Kuri and white bean fillings, and Kuon matcha. The store remains a popular destination for those seeking unique Japanese treats and collectibles.
Customers have reported a good selection of Minamoto's typical wagashi, but the prices seem to be higher than mainland locations. Some customers wish the store offered bite-sized samples to try the more "adventurous" items. However, the store's items make great gifts.
The store conveys the tradition of Japanese sweets, and customers have enjoyed the freshly made mochi, which was incredibly soft and complemented the refined sweet bean paste perfectly. The display of kabuto (samurai helmets) to celebrate Children's Day was also magnificent.
The service at Minamoto Kitchoan has been praised, with staff being extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the products. Customers have received personalized assistance in selecting treats, and the gift-wrapping service has been excellent.
