Overview

Fugetsudo (株式会社 風月堂) is a Japanese confectionery company founded in 1919, based in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Its official site describes it as a long-established sablé maker loved for over 100 years, and it sells baked sweets and other confections including sablé, karukan, and shirokuma ice cream. The company presents the roots of Japanese baked sweets as lying in Satsuma, and recounts a history in which Shimazu Nariakira established watermill-based rice-flour milling technology in 1855 and developed sugar-refining methods, leading to the creation of a preserved baked food close to sablé or biscuit.
