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).
