Ohagi (sweet rice cakes) and other Japanese sweets

Sogo Department Store in Kobe is located at the south exit of the city's major train station, Sannomiya. Like many department stores in Japan, it has a thriving food floor on the basement level, packed with independently run stalls selling a fantastic variety of prepared foods.

Shoppers can find anything from take-away tempura and grilled fish to delicate Japanese sweets packaged for gift-giving. There are also Western-style delis, French bakeries and a handful of sit-down counters where you can grab a quick snack.
