01

SHIGEMORI EISHINDO

Time required: About 15 minutes
On a busy day, the shop sells nearly 10,000 pieces of ningyoyaki, which has a lightly sweetened anko (red bean paste) inner core and a thin kasutera (castella sponge cake) outer layer with a soft, fluffy texture because of the addition of meringue. If you want to taste one hot from the oven, visit the shop in the morning. Zeitaku senbei (rice cracker), made with eggs, is also very popular.

darker-colored than regular dorayaki, because shoyu is used as an ingredient of the paShio-senbei (rice cracker) is made by flattening rice to give a light and crispy texture without losing the granular feeling of rice. The blended natural salt from Germany and Japanese shoyu (soy sauce) result in a savory roasted aroma. The dorayaki (pancake with red bean paste) cooked and sold at the storefront is tties.

NINGYOUCHOU
SHINODAZUSHI

Time required: About 15 minutes
A special feature of our inarizushi (sushi with sushi rice wrapped in thin deep-fried tofu), made using a recipe that has not changed since the establishment of the shop, is aburaage (fried sliced tofu), which has been specially made to order for the exclusive use for inarizushi. Aburaage is cooked and simmered slowly for 3 to 4 days to let the seasonings permeate. When you bite into inarizushi, the juice oozes out to delight your palate. Take a few pieces of inarizushi together with a colorful futomaki (thick sushi role).

Eitaro sohonpo
Nihonbashi Honten

Time required: About 20 minutes
Eitaro’s lovely triangle candies are crunchy when bitten. Kintsuba is a confectionery made by wrapping anko (red bean paste) with a skin made from flour and roasting it. In the Edo period, the citizens loved kintsuba because it is filling and easy to eat. Eat them with your fingers just like the citizens of Edo used to do!

YAMAMOTOYAMA Fujie sabo

Time required: About 40 minutes
At this teahouse, which opened in Nihonbashi in September 2018 where YAMAMOTOYAMA was founded, enjoy a moment of relaxation while appreciating fine tea that is only available here with seasonal sweets. You can also enjoy the delicate and careful performance of tea making for each individual. Original tea is also sold.

A twenty-minute walk

06

Ginza Kimuraya

Time required: About 20 minutes
Kimuraya’s bread dough is original as we make not with usual yeast, but with (rice-cultured) sake yeast such as rice and koji (sake mold) yeast, which results in a glutinous texture and a delicious flavor that fills the mouth. The bread and lightly sweetened anko (rice bean paste) inside go very well in the popular anpan. How about getting some adorable animal breads as well?
