OKAYAMA, Japan -- Japanese high-end confectioner Minamoto Kitchoan has finished renovating a building it purchased on New York's fashionable Fifth Avenue, the company announced on Tuesday, bringing it one step closer to reestablishing a flagship store on the coveted thoroughfare.
"We're hoping to use in-store decorations and tea ceremonies to teach people about aspects of Japanese culture like the Hinamatsuri Doll Festival and Tanabata Star Festival," said CEO Kemmei Okada.
