Around 1930, there were more than 70 stores in this alley manufacturing and selling sweets wholesale. Even now, more than 20 shops continue to manufacture and sell creative cheap confectionery, maintaining an atmosphere in the street that is nostalgic for many people. In 2001, the smell of peppermint candy, cheap confectionery, and toasted sweet dumplings was designated by the Ministry of the Environment as one of the Top 100 Aromascapes of Japan.
