Founded by Mr. Chen Shih-yang, the founder of San Shu Gong Foods, the "Shou Xin Fang" brand was established in 2003 with the philosophy of inheriting tradition while creating the future. Over the years, he has frequently traveled to Japan to learn the art of wagashi from master Anzai Katsuta, continuously developing innovative and aesthetically pleasing products, enriching the texture and flavor layers of wagashi, and striving to ensure that each product is not only visually stunning but also leaves a lingering taste. Shou Xin Fang has been continuously growing and transforming between tradition and innovation, and in 2009, it shifted to a tourist factory model, opening the production process of mochi and pastries for visitors, allowing consumers to closely engage with the making process. In recent years, with the rise of health consciousness, Shou Xin Fang has led wagashi towards a new trend of low sugar, low oil, high fiber, and low-calorie light food. Master Natsume has been touring and residing in the store, passing on the craft, and finding new health-inspired ideas from traditional food ingredients. He was the first to use Japanese health food ingredient - kudzu starch, as the main raw material for wagashi skins. Kudzu starch is made from kudzu root, with a fine texture superior to starch made from tubers and grains, able to gel at low temperatures, resembling crystal and jelly, providing a chewy and delightful experience while enjoying a low-calorie snack.

The Creative Japanese Sweets Culture Museum Introduction

Mr. Chen Shiyang, the founder of Sanshugong Foods, established the "Shousin Fang" brand in 2003 with the philosophy of inheriting tradition while creating the future, reimagining the products. Over the years, he has traveled back and forth to Japan to study under the renowned wagashi master Katsuta An'ichi, continuously developing and crafting with creativity and aesthetics to enrich the texture and flavor layers of wagashi, striving to make each product not only visually stunning but also unforgettable in taste. Shousin Fang has continuously grown and transformed between tradition and innovation, and in 2009, it transformed into a tourism factory, allowing visitors to observe the production process of mochi and pastries, enabling consumers to get close to the making process. In recent years, with the rise of health consciousness, Shousin Fang has pioneered a new trend in wagashi towards low sugar, low oil, high fiber, and low-calorie light snacks. Master Natsume tours the store to pass on the craft, finding new health innovations from traditional food ingredients based on the principle of food and medicine being one. Shousin Fang was the first to use Japanese health food ingredient - kudzu powder, as the main ingredient for wagashi skins. Kudzu powder is refined from kudzu root, with a finer texture, superior to starch made from tubers and grains, capable of gelling at low temperatures, resembling crystal and jelly, with a chewy texture, allowing enjoyment of low-calorie snacks.
