Among Yokohama and Kamakura souvenirs (omiyage), the longest-lasting are the Biscout from Bashamichi Jubankan (90 days from the production date) and Yokohama Harbour from Ariake (60 days). Kiyoken’s shumai (steamed dumplings) must be eaten within 17 hours of production, and Chikaramochiya’s Gongoro Chikaramochi in Kamakura expires the day you buy it, so those suit a gift you hand over on a set day. The price per piece runs from about ¥49 for the shumai and ¥85 for the Chikaramochi up to about ¥238 for the Biscout and Yokohama Harbour.
In short
- For a long trip: Biscout (90 days), Yokohama Harbour (60 days), Les Anges’ Kamakurata (60 days).
- For a lower price per piece: Hato Sable (10 pieces, ¥1,350) and Kamakura Hangetsu (5 pieces, ¥680).
- To hand over the same day: Kiyoken shumai (15 pieces, ¥740) and Gongoro Chikaramochi (10 pieces, ¥850).

2. Things to know when choosing
Shelf life varies from the same day to 90 days. Kiyoken’s fresh shumai and Chikaramochiya’s rice cakes are items to buy to match the day you hand them over. Most baked sweets keep 30 to 90 days at room temperature.
Some items are sold in limited places. The 10-piece bag of Hato Sable is sold only at some shops and is not sold in Toshimaya’s online store. Yokohama Kaori has suspended its official online shop, and you buy from its Rakuten Ichiba store or Gurunavi store.
From February to April, Chikaramochiya’s Gongoro Chikaramochi is replaced by a seasonal mugwort (kusa) mochi, and a box of 10 costs ¥900.
