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. People love the delicate fragrance of these little treats wrapped in salt pickled cherry blossom leaves. Customers can also enjoy their sakuramochi in the 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。

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。

A Japanese confectionary shop which continues to explore and evolve while still offering delicious treats unchanged from the time of its establishment in 1930. 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.

初訪問。店員何であんな横柄で偉そうなんだろう？ほかの人も絶対そう感じるハズ。お店の雰囲気最悪だから、それ込みで訪問したほうがいい。一見さんめんどくさいみたいな。待ち時間は平日13時過ぎ、10分くらいでした。何があったわけでもないが、絶対再訪しない。

Tokyo Chuo-ku Nihonbashi Ningyocho 2-11-3

This long-established store that was founded in 1917 is one of the three largest taiyaki shops in Tokyo. The store is located in Amazakeyokocho, a three-minute walk from Ningyocho Station, and attracts queues even on weekdays. The taiyaki, which are carefully baked to order one by one by the specialist bakers, are characterized by their crispy texture. The sweet bean paste, simmered until soft and plump, forms a thick and fluffy filling in this amazing delight. The taiyaki aren't too rich or heavy, so they are eaten up in no time. Many customers also buy several taiyaki as gifts, and these can be packaged in boxes, paper bags or tree bark as needed.

I love the way how the staff cook them. They dont use the electric like many others. It looks like gas or charcoal. It makes the taste smoky with the primitive smell of flour. The sweetness of the...

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
