Visited before 11 AM on a Sunday, located near Kokusai Street and Asakusa TX Station. There was one customer before me and it didn't seem crowded. I tried the grilled rice cake (with soy sauce) for 150 yen. I could hear the sound of pounding mochi from the back of the shop. The texture and aroma were excellent. They also have items like daifuku and yokan at relatively affordable prices, making it a good value for money. If you're curious, definitely give it a try.

Today was quite crowded in Asakusa, a holiday with a festival vibe. Despite the overwhelming crowds, I managed to avoid the hustle and bustle and made my way to Momotaro, a small traditional Japanese confectionery shop. Located on a side street facing Kaminarimon Street, it was a relief to find it less crowded than the main street. The shop doesn't have a wide variety of products, but everything is reasonably priced and has a charming simplicity to it. I chose the delicious-looking grilled rice cakes this time. The grilled rice cakes cost 150 yen for four small pieces. The subtle sweetness with a hint of salt in the rice cakes was just right. The fragrant aroma added a nostalgic touch, and the soy sauce enhanced the simple and delicious flavor of the rice cakes. The unpretentious atmosphere of the shop was lovely. It really suited the vibe of Asakusa. I hope this shop continues to thrive. Thank you for the meal!

I visited after watching the "Miniaturized! Asakusa Samba Carnival" in 2023. There was only one bean daifuku left! (also some rice cakes) Bean Daifuku 150 yen (including 8% tax) It is certainly small, about 54g. It's not too big or too soft, so the shape doesn't get squished. The bean paste is a bit light in color, with salty beans rolling around the outside. The paste has a refined sweetness. It was nice to exchange words with the shop staff about how hot it was today. ----- I came to Asakusa for the first time in 4 years after COVID. It was the first Asakusa Samba Carnival in 4 years! I was supposed to go to Kanazawa for the 3-day weekend in September, but I canceled last minute and had time, so I went alone to watch the Asakusa Samba Carnival! It lifted my spirits!

In conclusion, I didn't really like the taste. But it was worth going! An-dango! It's like a dango with sweet bean paste stuck on it. The sweet bean paste is powdery and dry in the mouth. The dango is firm! There is no unity between the sweet bean paste and the dango. They feel separate. Grilled dango! Simple soy sauce dango! It has a burnt flavor that I like. It looks like tsukune! I like this! It's not too sweet and has a good texture! It was too sophisticated for the children. Mame-daifuku! The beans are firm! The sweet bean paste is mildly sweet and plentiful. The mochi is very thin. Subtle. The aftertaste is a salty flavor of soybeans! Hmm, this wasn't my favorite mame-daifuku! Thank you for the meal. Each was 150 yen. The name of the shop is Momotaro. There was no kibi-dango. It is one of the top 100 traditional Japanese sweets shops in Tokyo. When I mentioned to Coco that I was thinking of going to Momotaro, she said, "Hmm, I didn't really like mame-daifuku that much. Maybe the dango with sweet bean paste would have been better." So, I bought the mame-daifuku, grilled dango, and an-dango. The an-dango was the last one! The old man serving us said, "It's been hot lately," in a conversational way. He might say the same thing to everyone, but it felt like a genuine conversation! He's a professional at customer service. I'm glad I went. It's a short walk from Claire de Lune Honten. Just a straight road. It's flat and easy to walk from Kuramae to Asakusa.

I stopped by here because I wanted a small souvenir. I ordered fragrant grilled rice cakes, mildly sweet red bean paste rice cakes, and bite-sized sweet bean rice cakes. I asked for each portion to be packed separately, and they kindly put them in a cute paper bag. When I opened it, I was surprised to see small packages of cute traditional Japanese sweets! In recent years, with the retro boom, even young people are sure to be pleased! The grilled rice cakes, red bean paste rice cakes, and sweet bean rice cakes all cost 150 yen each. I bought one portion, but it was only 900 yen, which is friendly to my wallet. Especially the grilled rice cakes were fragrant and had a unique taste. I think it will be well received, it's affordable, and I would like to buy it again as a souvenir! The staff at the store were quiet but kind! I'm really happy to have found such a wonderful store.

This is a traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Asakusa. I visited the shop after they had unexpectedly closed last time due to not checking their Twitter account. I bought some grilled rice cakes and bean daifuku for revenge. The bean daifuku had a consistently delicious taste, while the grilled rice cakes had a strong soy sauce flavor with very little sweetness, but were still delicious.

This place has also been selected as one of the top 100 traditional Japanese sweets shops. The shop is small so you might pass by without noticing it haha. I bought the dango and daifuku shown in the photo, and they were delicious. The prices are reasonable too. However, as I always mention, if it's a traditional Japanese sweets shop that hasn't been selected as one of the top 100, the sweets they make on that day are usually similar. Seriously, those top 100 shops are attracting a lot of people, mostly those with a lot of free time haha. I've been going to them a lot this year, and I'm starting to feel embarrassed about it. I'm sorry.

On Thursday morning, just before 12 o'clock, I passed by this shop and noticed there were no customers. I decided to go in and place an order, but when I asked for grilled rice cakes, they said they were sold out. However, after waiting for about 30 seconds, they brought some out from the back for me to purchase for 150 yen. When I tried it, the rice cake had a simple and rustic taste with no sweetness, and it made me feel the history of the area. I thought to myself, "Asakusa is truly an amazing place." Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again!

I used takeout service. I went around 2 pm on a weekday and was able to purchase smoothly. I ordered grilled rice cakes, yokan (sweet bean jelly), and bean cakes. I ate the grilled rice cakes as they were, and they were delicious with a savory soy sauce flavor and a chewy texture, unlike mitarashi dango. The yokan had a refreshing and elegant taste. When I toasted the bean cakes a bit, the aroma of beans came out, and they were also delicious. It was a casual Japanese sweets shop where you can easily stop by.

I don't usually like sweet things, but the Daifuku from Momotaro-san is exceptional. It has a not too overwhelming sweetness, plenty of red beans, and just the right size that makes me want to come back for more. There's so much beans in it that even though it's smooth red bean paste, it feels like you're eating whole beans! I can finish it in just two bites. The soy sauce grilled rice cakes are also recommended, and it's no surprise they were chosen as one of the top 100 stores.

I visited this place in Asakusa with high hopes. The bean daifuku was small, so I bought two, but since I had been eating too many sweet things, I decided to just have one. The grilled rice cake with soy sauce had a firm texture and the soy sauce flavor was delicious. The shape and color were also charming. The paper bag for takeout also had a nostalgic Showa era vibe, which was nice.

After eating three servings of soba noodles for lunch, I used the leftover space for a sweet treat. Why is it so hot... on September 1st (Friday). I bought a small red bean mochi and water yokan to take home, and I'll enjoy them with cold barley tea. Peach Boy, who doesn't use preservatives, only makes the amount for that day's sales, so they don't last long, but they are located along Asakusa Kaminarimon Street, in front of ROX.

Tokyo's Top 100 Sweets Shop 2023. I visited around 13:45 on a weekday. There were no other customers. They had items like grilled rice cakes, sweet bean jelly, cherry blossom mochi, and cut rice cakes, but I bought the bean daifuku. Bean Daifuku (150 yen including tax): The size is quite small. It has plenty of red beans, giving it a slightly firm texture. I surprisingly like the texture of these beans. The skin is thin and the filling is sweet red bean paste with a mild sweetness.

◼️Established in the 4th year of the Meiji era, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop sells freshly made products without using any preservatives.

Near TX Asakusa Station. Along Kaminarimon Street. Around the left corner of ROX. Today's purchase: - Grilled dumplings (with raw soy sauce) 150 yen - Mame Daifuku (bean-filled rice cake) 150 yen The grilled dumplings were delicious! Not with sweet soy sauce, but with raw soy sauce, giving it a fragrant adult taste! The Mame Daifuku was small and easy to eat, with an incredible amount of beans. It had smooth bean paste, but with so many beans it felt like chunky bean paste. Eating the fragrant grilled dumplings and Mame Daifuku alternately felt like creating a perpetual motion machine. Thank you for the meal.

Order: Mame Daifuku (Red Bean Rice Cake) for 150 yen Rating: The Mame Daifuku is slightly small, but the outer mochi is thin with plenty of sweet red bean paste. Additionally, there are plenty of whole red beans inside, which is delightful. The smooth red bean paste with just the right amount of sweetness, combined with the slightly firm and salty whole red beans, creates a pleasant texture. It was a very delicious Mame Daifuku. Revisit: I would like to visit again when I crave Mame Daifuku.

I visited "Momotaro," a shop located in the lively Asakusa area, known for its Nakamise Street and Senso-ji Temple. This long-established Japanese confectionery shop was founded in 1871. It is just a 3-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, facing Kaminarimon Street. Inside the store, the showcase displays various sweets such as daifuku, yokan, manju, triangular-shaped bean cakes, and grilled rice cakes. Here are the items I tried today: - Bean Daifuku: Inside the smooth mochi, there are chewy beans with a generous amount of sweet red bean paste. - Yomogi Daifuku: This chewy and elastic mugwort-flavored daifuku offers a pleasant aroma. It is filled with plenty of sweet bean paste. They are particular about using domestic ingredients, so you can enjoy them with peace of mind. They do not contain preservatives, so they have a short shelf life and do not keep well. It seems they only make as many as they sell on that day. Thank you for the delicious treats.

Asakusa Momotaro, located near Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, is a long-established shop founded in 1871. Their popular items include grilled rice cakes, chestnut steamed yokan, and daifuku. The small and cute bean daifuku costs 150 yen. The mochi is soft and delicious! This shop is known for its mochi-based Japanese sweets. The red adzuki beans are cooked to a fluffy texture, with a perfect balance of moderate saltiness and the exquisite sweetness of the sweet bean paste. The size of the daifuku is small, making it easy to eat in one bite. The mochi and red rice are also popular, so I would like to try them next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

■ After finishing up at Senso-ji Temple, head to Kokusai-dori aiming for "Momotaro." The must-try items are the lukewarm yet soft grilled rice balls, grass mochi, and bean mochi, yay~♪ ■ Grilled rice balls, grass mochi, and bean mochi are each 150 yen. ■ The grilled rice balls are brushed with fresh soy sauce and lightly grilled again upon ordering. The aroma of fresh soy sauce is deliciously savory, a perfect match for sake. ■ The mochi part of the grass mochi has no artificial fragrance, with a subtle natural mugwort scent. The mashed red bean filling has a perfect texture, not too smooth, making it delicious☆☆☆ ■ The bean mochi uses lightly salted red peas. The sweet bean paste is not too sweet and has a pleasantly chewy texture, also delicious☆☆☆ ■ Both bean mochi and grass mochi are a cute two-bite size, but they are generously filled with bean paste, making them satisfying when enjoyed with coffee on this day. ■ By the way, "Momotaro" offers delicious red rice on the 1st and 15th of each month in 350g packs. ■ Open on weekends and holidays, with irregular closing days. ■ 9:30-18:30, closing when sold out.

I've been curious for a while, and when I happened to pass by, I saw Kashiwa Mochi, so I couldn't resist. You can easily order just one, which is nice. The scent of the Kashiwa leaf is really good, the sweet bean paste is not too sweet, and the hand-wrapped mochi... delicious! I'd like to try more varieties next time.
