  Majimaya's history began with wooden molds. This spirit of craftsmanship is still passed down today. It is the aspirations of our predecessors and artisans who have been carving wooden molds for Japanese confectionery for over 60 years since the end of World War II. We have inherited that aspiration and continue to create products that focus on molds. More than 1,700 types of cookie cutters are displayed in the cookie tower in the center of the store, from the basement to the third floor. As a store specializing in confectionery and bread making machinery and equipment, our expert staff will visit you directly to install and repair your confectionery machinery.
