Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi, Kamigyo-ku Ichimachi-dori Imadegawa Kamiru Aerosecho 236

Located along Kawara-machi Street, this Japanese confectioner was founded in 1899. Their famous “nadai mamemochi” features red bean jam and red peas wrapped in freshly-made mochi. It has been around since the founding, and is a standard Kyoto souvenir, popular enough to see people lining up to get some.

テレビの番組で、外国人シェフが選ぶ和菓子ランキングで出町ふたばの豆大福が2位入っていたので、京都に行った時に訪れました。テレビでは、売り切れて買えないこともあるとの事でしたが、コロナの移動制限が解除された直後の金曜の昼頃ですが、10人程の列で10分ほど待ちましたが買えました。豆餅、黒豆大福など購入し、夜に頂きましたが、あんこが甘過ぎず、柔らかな触感で美味しくいただきました。賞味期限は1日のため、地...

Nara Pref. Narashi Kasuganochou 16 Todaiji Temple Yumeikaze Hiroba

This is a Japanese confectionary store in the Yume-Kaze Plaza in front of the gate of the Todai-ji Temple in Kasugano Town, Nara City. The store makes sweets from locally grown ingredients such as Japanese Yamato-imo yam and Yoshino-kuzu arrowroot. A popular item is the Japanese hotcake sweet bean paste sandwich called Yamato sanzan dorayaki. They are made freshly daily with red beans, and flour and eggs from a Tokachi farm. There is also a cafe on the second floor where customers can enjoy sweets and Miwa Somen noodles.

I was looking for something sweet on my way out from Nara Park, and this shop looked really nice! I bought a small strawberry daifuku and a matcha cake with white chocolate cream filling. Let me tell...

Nara Pref. Narashi Hashimotochou 29

This is a yomogi mochi rice cake specialty shop located on Sanjo-dori Street in Hashimoto Town, Nara City. The yomogi mochi is made from carefully selected locally grown produce. Hot rice is pounded swiftly according to traditional methods to make the soft and springy texture of the sweet. The shop is visited by many customers who come to see the skilled combination of the craftsmen turning and pounding the rice first hand.

The nicest, freshest mochi I’ve had in Japan (and I’ve tried a lot!) I also got to see them making the mochi which was really interesting.

Tokyo Taito-ku Ueno 1-10-10

"A Japanese confectionary shop located close to the Ueno 3 Chome intersection on Chuo-dori Avenue a four-minute walk from Okachimachi Station. The shop's name, literally ""Rabbit Shop,"" is derived from the fact the original owner was born in the year of the hare. This long-standing establishment continues to follow the same policy of ""superb flavor, low prices, and container recycling"" implemented when it first opened its doors in 1913. The shop's signature products are its dorayaki pancake sandwiches filled with sweet Tokachi azuki beans; and its kisaku monaka half-moon-shaped wafer cakes filled with smooth sweet bean paste. The shop's dorayaki have a crisp outer dough made with lotus flower honey and are counted as one of the three best dorayaki in Tokyo. As they are packed while still hot off the griddle, customers are urged to eat them as soon as possible."

They make great dorayaki. This is worth the drive. Awesome stuff. You often see people eating it outside of the shop. Not able to wait until get home. If you’re around get one and try it out.

Tokyo Sumida-ku Mukoujima 5-1-14

A sakuramochi (rice cake with red bean paste filling wrapped in a cherry blossom leaf) shop founded in 1717 which invented Kanto-style sakuramochi and whose products have been popular since it first opened. Today, this little shop continues to serve the same great sakuramochi, made according to the same, unchanged recipe.

It has a long history dating back from the Muromachi period, and in 1465 moved from Owari to Kyoto as a confectionery shop.

Tokyo Chuou-ku Ginza 6-7-19

This is a well-established wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop founded in 1884, and Ginza's Kuya monaka is loved by many including those that are cultured and their signature product of monaka is popular as a present for a special someone. Without using any additives they combine carefully selected red beans and sugar into a tsubushi-an that has a refined sweetness. Since the shop sells out of the entirely homemade treats, customers will need to make a reservation if they want to be certain of their purchase. Ginza Station is the closest train station.

自分では購入したことがないのですが、有難いことに義母さんから何度も頂いてます。お店の伝統、理念、手に入れるまでの手間を考えると、片手でパクパク食べるのは勿体なくて、緑茶やお紅茶などを淹れて、最中を漆器に盛り、皮の香ばしさ、甘さ控えめな餡をゆったり楽しむのが自分流です。

Osaka Sakaishi Sakai-ku Shinzaikechouhigashi 1-2-1

This long-established Japanese-style confectionary store, located in Sakai, was founded in 1329, in the late Kamakura period. Their specialty walnut mochi's name is derived from green soybean paste wrapped in mochi. The exquisite balance of the product's softness and the bean paste's smoothness is something people never tire of, according to its reputation. Their take-out menu is so popular that there is always a line extending out of the store. Additionally, seated within the eat-in space inside the store, customers can also enjoy shaved-ice walnut mochi, as well as the store's regular walnut mochi.

The dessert here are ok... not as refined as in Kyoto. Service is lacking. Can skip if you have no time to wait in the queue.

Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Higashiboujouchou 860

This dumpling shop founded in 1878 is known for its tasty kinako dango (sweet dumplings sprinkled with roasted soy flour), each of which is carefully made the old fashioned way and served on a bamboo skewer. Guests can enjoy their dumplings inside the shop's bright Japanese-style interior. Although the shop officially closes at 5:00 p.m., we recommend going earlier in the day as it sometimes sells out and closes early.

お店はいつもお客さんでいっぱいです。店内でも一本からでもいただくことができ、お茶まで出してくれます。テイクアウトもいいですが、ここでいただく作り立てが一番オススメです。テイクアウトは、お土産にも最適で、昔から手土産で欲しいNo.1です。

Tokyo Sumida-ku Mukoujima 5-5-22

Established in the late Edo period, Kototoi Dango continues to serve the same sweet dango dumplings as when it first opened its doors. Unlike most dango, Kototoi Dango's dango are not covered in a sweet sauce, nor are they served on bamboo skewers. Kototoi Dango's dango come in three flavors-adzuki bean, white bean jam, and miso and white bean jam. You can also order monaka wafer cakes in the shape of a black-headed gull filled with the same three flavors with an advance reservation. The shop closes when stock for the day runs out, so be sure to come early.

我が家の奥様と向島に天丼をいただきに行き、その足で「ことといだんご」を購入っしました。６ケ入をお土産にしました。米粉を小豆の餡と白餡で包んだものと白玉粉に味噌餡を入れて青黄色にしたものが入っています。上品な甘さで食べやすいものです。子供の時はもう少し甘いと感じていた記憶がありますが、あまり甘いものを食べる子供じゃなかったからかもです。

Sogetsu makes its sweets with select ingredients procured from around the country and without the use of any preservatives. Be sure to try the shop's signature Kuromatsu, an extremely light type of traditional dorayaki.
