Specialty Treat: Yokai Sweet Eyeball Dad for a Smile-Inducing Snack Break
About this spot
A charming wagashi (Japanese confection) shop nestled along Mizuki Shigeru Road with the whimsical concept of "researching" the food of yokai characters. The signature product is the "Yokai Sweet Eyeball Dad"—a hand-crafted nerikiri (kneaded sweet) confection made by skilled artisans at a traditional wagashi shop and skewered on a stick. Despite its strikingly realistic appearance, the candy delivers the refined sweetness of red bean filling—a masterpiece that demands a photo before you eat it, creating a uniquely Sakaiminato snack experience. After your afternoon stroll, enjoying the Eyeball Dad sweet with your family is guaranteed to bring the biggest laughs of the day. Its popularity means it sells out once supplies run out for the day.
Tips
Since the Yokai Sweet Eyeball Dad is handmade and produced in limited quantities, it may sell out by evening. You can ask at the museum shop beforehand about placing a hold. The skewered treat is convenient for eating while walking, but it's fragile, so help small children hold it properly.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Stop by in the late afternoon snack time to relieve walking fatigue with something sweet.
