Nanan's Beginnings

When my mother, who had worked as a nurse for over 30 years, fell seriously ill, she told my sisters and I, "If she recovers, I want to create a place where everyone, from children to adults, can gather." She was fortunate to recover and began manufacturing and selling sweets in 2009, and in 2014, she opened her long-awaited cafe in Usa City, Oita Prefecture. She has provided meals and sweets that are carefully made with ingredients and nutrients, with a focus on "things that will invigorate both the mind and body. Things that you want your loved ones to eat."
In 2019, we met a wonderful craftsman who makes exquisite rice flour sweets, and we added a rice flour workshop that does not bring any wheat into the manufacturing process. Now, we are a gluten-free rice flour sweets shop known locally as c'est du nanan.
Then, encouraged by the local people, we opened a store in Tokyo. We started as a small restaurant that was particular about the ingredients, and in 2021 we started selling sweets as well.
At our Tokyo store, we use a far-infrared roaster from Kyoto to roast fair-trade, pesticide-free specialty coffee beans.
