Baby castella

If you come out from the Shimokitazawa station, you can probably smell this heavenly treat. Fluffy, round, sweet and perfect. Japanese baby castella is awesome in general but this shop uses some magic to make it extra fluffy. It isn’t even just right from the oven magic. They remain fluffy even after several hours! At 550 yen (tax included) for a bag, they’re perfect for souvenirs too.

Rice cracker of Tamaiya

Taste something that people tasted over 100 years ago.
Tamaiya is a rice cracker shop that was established in 1913. They sell their crackers by weight. Just think, there are people eating the same snack today that people ate over 100 years ago. Isn’t that interesting? It’s also fun just to look at the various rice crackers in their glass containers.
