Imojin
The confectionery shop was founded in the early Taisho era (1912-1926). It was named Imojin because the founder Jinzo started as a potato (imo) seller. The shop is located about a five-minute walk from Nezu Station's Exit 1, and you can buy various products such as anmitsu, mitsumame and tokoroten (jelly strips). You should try their wafer cake ice cream sandwiches made with homemade ice cream. The vanilla ice cream is mainly made from powdered milk, and the ice cream mixed with red bean paste is popular for its refined and elegant sweetness from both the red bean paste and sugar. It pairs well with the crispy wafer cakes, and a lot of people can be seen eating it while walking around Nezu. In the summer, they also offer shaved ice topped with ice cream.

- お財布にやさしい老舗の甘味処
- 下町、根津散策で立寄りました。クリームあんみつは店内で食べても税込520円とお持帰りの様な価格でビックリ。あんこがなめらかでとろけます。バニラアイスはサッパリ系でした。こちらの大判焼は昭和焼と呼ばれ、巷の大判焼の2倍の大きさで120円。全てがお得です。

- 懐かしい味わい
- ランニングしていて給水&クールダウンに立ち寄りました。同行者とかき氷、アイス最中を頂きましたがどちらも懐かしい味。子供時代を思い出させてくれました。

- 愛される街の甘味処
- 谷根千エリアで長く営業されている街の甘味処。アイスクリームや昭和焼き(いわゆる回転焼き・大判焼き)のほか、あんみつ・ぜんざいなど全般的に揃います。価格が手ごろで美味しく、ローカルで愛されるお店という表現がぴったりです。
