Tokyo Taitou-ku Ueno 4-9-7

This veteran anmitsu sweet shop has been operating since 1948. The name Mihashi comes from the three bridges that used to be on the approach road to Kaneiji Temple.

Tokyo Taito-ku Asakusa 1-31-12

This long-established store has passed down its tradition as a specialty store for sweets such as awazenzai (steamed millet and rice cake with strained bean paste) since its establishment in 1854. The tea house started in a corner of Umezonoin Temple, and the name Umezono is derived from this. Umezono is distinctive for using glutinous millet instead of foxtail millet for the rice cakes in their awazenzai. The flavor combines the subtle bitterness of the millet and the sweetness of the sweetened bean paste for a classic Asakusa specialty that remains unchanged. Besides cafe menu items such as oshiruko (sweet red bean soup) and anmitsu (desert with agar-agar, fruit, sweet red bean paste, etc.), it also sells mame daifuku (bean rice cake) and kintsuba (sweet red bean paste wrapped in thin flour dough).

This dessert stop was recommended to us and near our ryokan so we stopped by. There is no English menu so we basically had to look outside at the replica food display and point. You had to pay first...

Kugatsu-do's signature ramen broth is made without any chemical seasonings and is rich in savory umami flavor provided by healthy, natural ingredients.

Our recommendation is the Tiramisu made with loads of mascarpone, and the mellow, Japanese style sweetness of Rich Purple Sweet Potato Milk.
