Kameju
A traditional Japanese confection shop located kitty-corner from the Kaminarimon gate in Asakusa. This long-standing shop boasts 90 years of history at its current location. Featured in all manner of media, Kameju is famous for the unending lines which form at its door each day. Particularly popular are the shop’s dorayaki – soft and moist sweet red bean paste made with adzuki beans from Tokachi sandwiched between two fluffy, pancake-like dough saucers. Larger than the average dorayaki, the shop offers a white and a black bean paste variety. Popular as souvenirs and gifts, they often sell out.
