Visited at 1 pm on a weekday. The atmosphere of this establishment truly exudes a sense of history and tradition. They only sell their products in-store, including their signature golden sweet potato as well as dorayaki. The golden sweet potato is sold in sets, typically in boxes, but opting for a bag instead will save you 10 yen. They only accept cash payments. ★Golden Sweet Potato 5-piece set (bag) 1140 yen (tax included) ・Can be kept at room temperature for up to 8 days. ・Shaped like a baked sweet potato, but made with white bean paste instead of actual sweet potato. ・The skin is moist, the filling inside is gooey, with a gentle sweetness and a rich flavor from the chicken egg. The hint of cinnamon is also nice. Delicious. ・Perfect for gifts. If I have the chance to visit this area again, I would definitely stop by.

[2023.6.28] I bought about 15 seasonal greetings gifts for my colleagues at work. They are individually wrapped and have a long shelf life, so they can be taken home and shared with their families and children, which is greatly appreciated. They are a summer staple and easy to eat.

When I passed by the store, there were about 3 people lined up. I peeked inside the store and saw a traditional Japanese sweet that I had received as a souvenir before, so I decided to buy it. It was called "Kogane Imo", a box of 7 pieces for 1720 yen. According to the pamphlet, it was created at this store in the late 1930s, so it's a long-standing traditional Japanese sweet. It looks like a sweet potato on the outside, coated with cinnamon, and filled with a sweet egg yolk paste inside. It was just the right amount of sweetness and went well with tea. It was a delicious traditional Japanese sweet.

Husband and I went on a stroll date♪ Enjoyed a sweet potato dessert that smells like cinnamon, similar to Yatsuhashi~ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ It looks like a sweet potato, but it's made with white beans and egg yolk paste instead of sweet potato paste. The sweetness is comforting and they even serve tea, which is nice (*^^*)

I bought a pack of 3 golden sweet potatoes on my way to a work appointment without any prior information. When I tried them at home, I found that they had a strong cinnamon flavor, which I usually don't like much, but it was still enjoyable. Other people commented that they could taste white kidney bean paste and egg yolk, so I think it might be a paste-like material. It reminded me of a sticky texture like the famous confectionery "hiyoko". The shop didn't give off a prestigious vibe, but the treats were delicious and had a down-to-earth feel. Thank you for the meal.

It is located a little away from Ningyocho intersection. The building is old and the interior is not very spacious, with a showcase. I visited this place because I like their golden sweet potato. It comes in a simple packaging of 5 pieces for 1150 yen. The size is about the size of a thumb. The surface is coated with cinnamon powder, and the inside is white bean paste. Although it is called sweet potato, the white bean paste does not seem to contain sweet potato. They also offer other traditional Kyoto sweets. It seems they also offer delivery to other regions. I might consider sending some to the countryside as a gift.

[2023.5.24]【Warabi Mochi】There are about 7 pieces in one box. When you open the box, a wonderful scent of cinnamon spreads throughout the room. I ate it at room temperature, and it had a firm texture. This is what real warabi mochi tastes like! [2023.5.25]【Fu Manju】Another summer sweet, fu manju. I don't like it when it's sold out, so I went for a walk to the shop before lunch to buy it. I left it at room temperature until after dinner when I had it as a dessert. The thin skin of fu, with a scent of seaweed, has a unique smooth and stretchy texture, unlike the chewy texture. The anko from Jyudou-san, which is familiar to us, is far from lingering sweetness, and has an elegant sweetness that melts and disappears as soon as you put it in your mouth.

[Date] Visited alone on a weekday at 11:00 AM. [Reservation] Not required. Was able to purchase without waiting. [Location] About a 3-minute walk from Ningyocho Station. Located along a main street, so the shop is easy to find. [Interior] Only a takeout counter. The shop is small, so it seems like only one group can enter at a time. [Order] ・You can purchase a single Golden Sweet Potato. It's about 10cm long and looks like a baked sweet potato, but it doesn't actually contain sweet potato. Inside, there's a generous amount of white bean and egg yolk paste. It has a subtly elegant taste and is delicious. It's surprisingly spicy with cinnamon sprinkled around the edges, which I liked as an accent. Thank you for the meal! Highly recommended as a gift! [Service] The staff were efficient and friendly. [Final Thoughts] The cinnamon around the Golden Sweet Potato is a great accent!

I always see a popular Japanese confectionery shop with long lines, so this time I decided to wait in line and try it out. It turns out the shop was established in 1884, making it a super long-standing traditional Japanese confectionery shop. Their popular item is called "Koganeimo" (golden sweet potato). This time, I bought Warabimochi for 650 yen and Kashiwamochi for 310 yen. The prices are quite high, but the quality is exceptional. Kashiwamochi is not the usual white rice cake but a green one made with mochi and oak leaves. The rice cake is incredibly soft and delicious, and the sweet bean paste is elegant and not too sweet. I finished it in no time. The Warabimochi also seems pricey for the amount, but it is incredibly soft and delicious, made without any preservatives or additives. It's clear they have been sticking to their principles since 1844. Next time, I will try their famous Koganeimo. However, the prices were not displayed at the store, so I couldn't tell how much it costs.

I visited in the early afternoon on a holiday. There were a few other customers, but I was able to buy the golden sweet potatoes I was looking for right away! There is usually not a long line even on holidays, but the store closes in the evening, so it's better not to go too late. It seems they sell about 2,000 pieces a day. You might occasionally see this golden sweet potato in department stores, but it's better to buy it directly at the shop in Ningyocho if you can. The charming interior of the shop is a must-see. The very stylish wall clock will catch your eye. This was my first purchase. Now, how does it taste? Oh, it's surprising. I didn't expect it to have such a strong cinnamon flavor. It looks just like a sweet potato, so without any prior information, I assumed it would taste like a regular sweet potato. But after savoring it, I think the filling is made of white beans. This could be dangerous. It seems like it could become addictive. I only bought two pieces, but I realized I didn't have enough when I got home. I will definitely go buy more.

At first glance, it looks like a mini baked sweet potato, but it is actually a sweet made with white kidney beans and egg yolk, topped with cinnamon. The combination of white bean paste and cinnamon is quite unique and stands out. It was my first time trying it and I think it would be a stylish option to serve to guests. Thank you for the meal.

The sweet mochi dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves have a subtle fragrance of bamboo leaves, making them delicious. There are two types of wrapping methods: one with the kashiwa leaf on the outside and one with the leaf on the inside. The filling, whether red bean paste or miso paste, is indicated by the wrapping method. Both the miso paste inside and the red bean paste outside are equally delicious. There is still so much more to discover.

The main product here seems to be yellow sweet potatoes, but I tried the Wakakusa Doamyouji that was displayed on the table. I really like Doamyouji. When it comes to Kanto's sakura mochi, it is a pink rice cake baked on a griddle, filled with sweet bean paste. I actually didn't like it when I was little... But then I discovered Doamyouji wrapped in cherry blossom leaves, and thought, how delicious! Even as an adult, Doamyouji is special to me. And this time, it was a beautiful green Doamyouji! I enjoy it at home with green tea. The pleasant scent of bamboo leaves fills the air as I bite into the soft Doamyouji. It's refreshing and not too sweet. It was a Doamyouji that truly captures the feeling of early summer.

I purchased it because my friend highly recommended it. It can be bought for ¥230 per piece. They accept cards. The shape is similar to a sweet potato, with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I don't dislike cinnamon, but I didn't particularly like it overall. Also, the powder falls off easily, making it difficult to eat. The expiration date was about one week, which is relatively long for a Japanese sweet.

I visited this place located right near Ningyocho Station. There is no background music playing inside the store. When you enter, there is a traditional-style counter. I tried the "Golden Sweet Potato" for takeout. It looks like a sweet potato, and has a very good flavor with a hint of cinnamon.

During my last visit to the massage therapist, we got to talking about hina-arare (traditional Japanese sweets for Girls' Day) in the Ningyocho and Suitengu area, and I heard that our shop was considered the best. I remembered that the sweet potato treats from our shop were the wife's favorite, so I decided to visit on Girls' Day. The wife had warned me that they might be sold out by the evening, but luckily there were still some left. It was quite busy that day because of Girls' Day, with mostly middle-aged women in groups and I was the only man there. The shop is located a few doors down from the intersection at Suitengu Shrine, with a traditional appearance and established in 1884. The interior of the shop is also quite old-fashioned and has a nice atmosphere. When I asked if I could take a photo, they said it was a bit messy but allowed me to do so. They even complimented me for not filming with my smartphone (probably for a video?) and gave me a 10 yen discount. It's the thought that counts. I bought four pieces of their signature Golden Sweet Potato (230 yen each) and the hina-arare I was looking for. The large size was a bit pricey at 2,000 yen, so I opted for the small size at 730 yen. I usually hesitate to spend over 300 yen on snacks, but this time I made an exception. I enjoyed the Golden Sweet Potato the next day. They packaged it in a zip-lock bag to prevent it from drying out. This kind of thoughtfulness must be the secret to their long-lasting popularity. When I unwrapped the paper packaging, the scent of the sweet potato hit me. This is the unique feature of the Golden Sweet Potato. It mainly consists of white kidney beans with a delicate sweetness that pairs perfectly with the sweet potato flavor. It's a traditional Japanese sweet that goes well with coffee. The hina-arare is not the large, crispy type that has become common recently, but the traditional rice type. It also contains sweetened beans, giving it a nice touch. (In fact, the wife had bought multiple packs of hina-arare, so I haven't tried them yet.) It's true that long-standing shops have delicious offerings.

The dish was wrapped in a thin skin similar to cinnamon, with a perfect balance of sweetness and thickness. At first, I thought it was made with sweet potatoes, but it turned out to be white beans?! It's hard to believe that no sweet potatoes were used, as it clearly tastes and smells like sweet potatoes. The combination of the thin skin, filling, and sweet potato-like taste creates an addictive and delicious flavor. I definitely want to eat it again.

On this day, I had some errands in Ningyocho, Tokyo. While walking down the street, I stumbled upon this shop with a very traditional look. After some research, I found out that it was indeed a famous shop, so I bought their specialty golden sweet potato and dried sweets as souvenirs. The golden sweet potato may look like a small baked sweet potato at first glance, but it is actually a sweet treat with white bean paste and a hint of cinnamon. It is very sweet, but the cinnamon adds a light touch to it. I imagined that back in the Meiji era, this must have been considered quite trendy. The dried sweets are also beautifully packaged and perfect as souvenirs. The atmosphere inside the shop is filled with a sense of history, so I highly recommend it.

Today, I took a leisurely stroll in Ningyocho after a long time. After buying the tamagoyaki I was looking for, I wondered if I should get something sweet next. I decided to check out a Western-style confectionery shop that I had researched beforehand. I planned to buy a cake a little later. As I walked towards Suitengu Shrine, I passed by this shop. I remembered how delicious their golden sweet potatoes were when I had them before. The scent of cinnamon fills the air, but it's not too strong or unpleasant. It's more of an appetizing aroma. I wonder if I can buy just one golden sweet potato. I went inside and asked, and they said, "We also have ones for home use." So I decided to buy a pack of three. I bought them and my daughter immediately said, "I want to eat it now!" What's wrong, her appetite has been strange lately. I handed her one and we ate it on the side of the road. The taste was not too sweet, but rather a refined sweetness. That's right. The refined sweetness makes you want to eat not just one, but two or three. Maybe that's why this simplicity has been going on for years. They also had hina dolls' dried sweets and cute devil-shaped nerikiri sweets due to the season. Fresh sweets are also nice, aren't they?

*Waiting Time* No waiting time on Saturday at 12:40 *Order & Price* Golden Sweet Potato for 230 yen *Atmosphere* The shop has a traditional feel with a strong scent of cinnamon. *Service* Cash only. *Impression* I bought just one piece since you can purchase them individually. It's a small size for 230 yen, which is quite reasonable. It can last for about a week. The calorie count is 112kcal, according to the internet. It looks just like a sweet potato on the outside and inside, but it's actually filled with white bean paste, creating an interesting contrast. In terms of taste, it's like a peach mountain coated in cinnamon. *Expectation* It's a unique Japanese sweet that you don't see often. I initially thought it was small, but it surprisingly filled me up.

Rabbit manju topic posting for the third time. Steamed manju and Momoyama's W rabbit are lined up on the table together. [Steamed manju] I had it two days in a row, and I felt that the sweetness was lighter and the scent of cinnamon was a bit stronger on the second day. The expression of the rabbit is different every day, which conveys the artisan's handmade feeling and is charming. [Momoyama] The inside has a color similar to the "golden sweet potato" that Judo is good at. Is it sweet bean paste made with egg yolk and green peas? It is sweet, but it has an elegant sweetness that melts in the mouth. The skin had a slightly sweet taste with a fluffy texture like chestnut manju. It is an elegant sweetness with a hint of cinnamon scent that briefly wafts.
