    It’s one of a very few shellfish shops in Tokyo. It’s amazing that they sell many different kinds of shellfish. I loved the local atmosphere. I bought a skewered shellfish that was very tasty.

    "A five-minute walk from the west exit of Nippori Station on the JR and other lines, this handmade delicatessen is located in Yanaka Ginza, and its ""Genki Menchikatsu"" is one of the most popular Yanaka Ginza gourmet dishes. The ""Torotoro Yakiniku Pork,"" made with three secret sauces that have been used since the establishment of the restaurant, takes four hours to prepare and does not harden even when refrigerated, allowing the tender meat to melt in the mouth."

    Youll definitely get hungry from exploring the Yanaka neighborhood, which makes Niku-no-Suzukis Genki Menchi-Katsu the perfect snack for a delicious break.

    "A long-standing store that's operated since the early Meiji period. It's the originator of Kintaro-ame, a candy roll with the same design in the middle wherever it's sliced. People love it so much it's sometimes said, ""No Tokyo specialty tops Kintaro-ame."" At the time of shaping, skilled artisans assemble jumbo-sized candy by hand that is 35 centimeters in diameter and weighs about 50 kg. Close to Showa-dori Street, the shop also has candies with a variety of other patterns like zodiac signs, the Seven Lucky Gods, and the characters for ""arigato"" (thank you). It's fun just walking around checking out the variety. They also do made-to-order ""Bridal Kintaro-ame"" for weddings with the portraits of the bride and groom."

    The staff at this chocolate shop call out enthusiastically as they work. You can spot it by its yellow sign. They offer steep discounts on chocolate, which some consider the specialty of the Ameyoko Market in Ueno. The workers shouting as they stuff customers' bags with chocolate is considered the market's premier performance. The items they fill the bags with would probably cost over 2,000 yen if purchased separately. The store itself gets packed too, with lots of visitors joining in the shouting fun.

    Youtubeや訪問者のブログで見てとても楽しそうだったので、行ってみました。猛暑のなかチョコレートを買うのはどうかとも思いましたが、とりあえず店の前へ。機嫌の悪そうな兄ちゃんが座っていた。目が合ったら「チョコレートいかがですか」と声をかけられた。どうしようか迷っていると、おばちゃんが「保冷材いれるから大丈夫」といったのでお願いしてみた。顔はブスくれたままで、チョコレート入れが始まった。例の「入れ...

    Tokyo Taito-ku Uenokoen 9-86
    A sweet shop located nearly at the center of Ueno Park, Japan's premier municipal park. It's near the entrance of Ueno Zoological Gardens and the five-story pagoda. They serve uguisu dango (sweet dumplings), a local favorite. The name of the sweet is written on their curtain in Japanese characters. Uguisu dango features three different kinds of dumplings: matcha green tea, white sweet bean, and azuki bean. They use the same recipe today as when they were founded in 1915. The shop's wood and green toned interior attracts a lot of international customers. In the summer they serve their popular shaved ice, but with the syrup on the bottom of the bowl.

    A Japanese confectioner with a tasteful appearance and a long history. Since they started in 1900, they've been making mame-daifuku (chewy mochi rice cake filled with anko bean jam) the traditional way as well as their original ukikusa sweets. Their popular mame-daifuku are simple yet delectable, with Tokachi grown azuki beans inside fresh mochi rice cake made every morning. The harmony of salty red peas and sweet daifuku can be almost addictive. Call ahead and they'll hold onto your order, as long as you can get there by 15:00 (must be eaten the same day, so no cancellations).

    This hand-baked rice cracker shop was founded in 1913. The shop has a modern exterior and is about a two-minute walk from the Nippori Station's West Exit, where they sell carefully made rice crackers. Their classic Katamaru are luxurious rice crackers with the sweetness of rice and the savoriness of soy sauce, and have a good old-fashioned taste with a chewy texture. It offers a wide variety of rice crackers, including zarame, which has just the right amount of sweetness, sesame, which has a rich flavor, and nori seaweed, which has seaweed sandwiched between light rice cracker dough.

    This taiyaki shop is located a three-minute walk from Nezu Shrine. They sell freshly baked taiyaki at this compact shop that looks out over Shinobazu-dori Street. Their taiyaki that have thin, crisp shells with red bean paste filled all the way to the tail are popular items that inevitably sell out. They are sold out a few hours after they open, and it is not unusual for them to close the shop early. The tightly packed red bean paste is moderately sweet and is rendered elegantly, so they have a reputation for making you go for the next one without even thinking about it.

    This breakfast snack is best enjoyed piping hot and eaten on the spot! The crispy outer fish cake and red bean go so well together that youd be happy eating it. Staff is super friendly in taking...

    Tokyo Bunkyo-ku Nezu 2-30-4
    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.

    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。

    Tokyo Bunkyo-ku Sendagi 1-23-51F
    This is the first specialty store for traditional Japanese candy sculpting. This store was established as the first of its kind in order to spread awareness of the traditional Japanese art of candy sculpting, which dates all the way back to the Edo period (1603-1868). The cozy interior of the store contains a number of tightly packed displays showing off their unique candy sculptures. They create the sculpture before your eyes in around three minutes, and once they're done the candy is yours to take away with you. The store's signature attraction is the opportunity to pay to observe their swift and highly skilled sculptors as they create a candy sculpture of your choice (chosen from a menu that includes pandas, cats, cherry blossoms, Chinese Zodiac and more). They make for fine gifts for special occasions, such as for weddings or for Mother's Day.
