When asked about the most representative fruit shop in the country, many Japanese will probably mention Shinjuku Takano. With its long-standing reputation starting from 1885, this well-established fruit store is regarded as somewhat of a pioneer in the field of fruit-selling.
One of their current business endeavors, besides the original one, is the expansion of business mainly to the Kanto Region, by opening Takano Fruit Parlors, where customers can savour fine parfaits made with their first-class fruits.
