KAMAKURA WICH, a confectionery brand operating seven stores primarily in Kanagawa Prefecture, is launching a souvenir delivery service exclusively at its Kamakura flagship store starting Sunday, March 15, 2026. When purchases for the same delivery destination total 10,000 yen (tax included) or more, shipping is free (cooling charges apply separately).
Kamakura attracts visitors from across Japan and beyond, drawn by its blend of history and nature. Many travelers, however, have found it a challenge to carry souvenirs around a city where walking and bus rides between temples and landmarks are the norm. The new service is designed to address that — allowing guests to explore the city unburdened after picking up gifts at the store.

Benefits of the Delivery Service
Explore the City Hands-Free
Kamakura's shrines, temples, and scenic spots are spread across the city, making walking and bus travel essential. With the delivery service, visitors can continue enjoying the city after their shopping without worrying about carrying heavy bags.
Send Popular Products Directly
Colorful baked confections and other popular items can be shipped straight to the destination of your choice. Bulk purchases are no problem either — perfect for buying gifts for multiple people at once.
Delivered with the Same Quality as In-Store
The signature KAMAKURA WICH (Rum Raisin), the seasonal Saison Wich, and other items that require careful handling are individually and carefully packaged, ensuring they arrive in the same condition as when purchased in-store.
Recommended Lineup
The Kamakura flagship store carries the widest selection of all KAMAKURA WICH locations, with options ranging from small gifts to premium boxed sets for special occasions.
The flagship KAMAKURA WICH cookie sandwich is handcrafted one by one — each piece brushed with egg wash and topped with almonds by hand, with raisins carefully sandwiched in by experienced staff with the precision of a seasoned craftsperson. Machinery plays only a supporting role; the majority of the process remains handmade. The resulting irregular shapes are part of the charm, reflecting the warmth of the handmade process.
KAMAKURA WICH Kamakura Main Store
Located just a 2-minute walk from JR Kamakura Station's West Exit, the Kamakura flagship store sits at the corner of a crossroads along the Onari-dori shopping arcade. In contrast to the lively east exit area around Komachi-dori and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Onari-dori on the west side offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere — a neighborhood where time seems to pass a little more slowly.
The store carries that same understated warmth: simple yet welcoming, it offers a calming retreat during a day of sightseeing. A café is also attached to the main store, popular with both local residents and tourists looking to take a break.
The main store also features exclusive café menu items available nowhere else, including seasonal sweets, soft serve ice cream, and café drinks.
Chocolat Milk Tea (Seasonal Limited)
Available from Sunday, March 15 to the end of April 2026 (limited period)
A rich milk tea layered with a gentle hint of chocolate. Crafted to preserve the tea's natural aroma while keeping the sweetness light, the drink balances the smoothness of milk with a subtle cocoa finish — a luxurious spring treat.
Handmade Set
A playful set where guests can sandwich flavorful buttercream and house-made rum raisins between crispy Kamakura biscuits to create their own personalized KAMAKURA WICH. Both the individual components and assembled versions are delicious in their own right. A drink (coffee or tea) is included, and a rum raisin top-up is available for an additional 50 yen. This set is exclusive to the Kamakura main store.
Rum Raisin Soft Serve
A soft serve ice cream with a deep rum flavor, topped with Kamakura Biscuits and house-made rum raisins — the same key ingredients used in the signature KAMAKURA WICH. The crispy biscuit and juicy, rich raisin topping add layers of texture and depth to every bite.
Pudding Soft Serve
A house-made pudding crafted from carefully selected ingredients — including low-temperature pasteurized milk, fresh cream, and Nasu Goyo eggs — paired with KAMAKURA WICH's signature rum soft serve. Caramel crunch adds a pleasing bittersweet crunch that complements the smooth, deep flavors of both the pudding and soft serve, making for a satisfying treat with every spoonful.
About the Signature KAMAKURA WICH
The signature KAMAKURA WICH is a cookie sandwich featuring house-made rum raisins and smooth, fragrant buttercream nestled between light, crispy biscuits (Kamakura Biscuits). The raisins are prepared by adding rum immediately after cooking to allow the alcohol to evaporate, then resting them until they absorb a gentle, refined rum fragrance. This process makes them suitable even for children and those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The combination of rum raisins, buttercream, and Kamakura Biscuits becomes increasingly enjoyable over time, transitioning from crispy to a pleasant, moist texture — a truly one-of-a-kind treat.
