Sweets Factory Niigata

Imported sweets for the sweet tooth - but pricey

Sweets Factory is situated on the second floor of the Bandai Mall complex in Niigata City - in a stand alone building. The store has a bunch of imported sweets, from Pez dispensers to more Haribo gummy candy than you could poke a stick at. The staff are super friendly and offer you samples as you browse - they gave us some super tasty gummy bears that hit the spot. Sure, it's a marketing ploy to make you buy more, but it's genius really. While there is a wide selection to choose from, the fact that it's all imported sweets means that you're paying a pretty penny for them. I don't know that I necessarily would go there regularly if I lived closer - it was fun for a quick sugary pick me up, but I don't know that the cost justifies it.
