Minamoto Kitchoan is Moving to Madison Avenue
Minamoto Kitchoan, purveyor of elegant Japanese sweets, is moving from their current location at 608 Fifth Avenue (at 49th Street) to a new location at 509 Madison Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Street, right next door to Crumbs Bake Shop, two doors down from Japanese chocolatiers, Royce Chocolates, and across the street from Neuhaus Belgian Chocolates.
Minamoto Kitchoan is known for their “wagashi” or traditional Japanese confections, often made with mochi and red bean paste ingredients and paired with green tea, which start at the $2.50-$3 price range for individual pieces. The new location is set to open in mid-July.

Buying one box of confectionaries from there was enough to pay, at least, one month’s rent.

You must buy huge boxes of confections.

Or share a tiny room 3 ways and have a 3-hour commute.
