On this day, I visited this place after stopping by the nearby Kumagi Pancake Shop, which I hadn't visited in about a month. As usual, the types of ohagi that would be sold that day were announced on the shop's Instagram around 10 am, including tsubu, koshi, kinako, kokogane, genmaicha, and a new flavor called jagaaan. Worried about it selling out after Kumagi Pancake Shop, I decided to stop by here first. When I arrived around noon, there was just one customer leaving. I asked the young female staff about the sales, and she assured me that they would make more, so there wouldn't be a shortage during lunchtime. Feeling relieved, I decided to buy them on my way back. I arrived back at around 1 pm, with one customer inside and two outside. I purchased the jagaaan for 250 yen and genmaicha for 220 yen (tax included) among the six types of ohagi available. Just like last time, the young female staff's customer service here is truly kind, polite, and wonderful. When I tried them at home, the jagaaan had a mashed potato-like texture, which was a bit surprising since it's sweet, but it paired well with the rice and shiso flavor inside. The genmaicha had a nice roasted rice aroma and was delicious too. If I have the chance to have lunch in Oku Kagurazaka or Edogawa Bridge area again, I would like to stop by here as well.

I like four types of Ohagi in the order of kinako, sesame, hojicha, and tsubu. It might be better to go in the morning on Saturday around 2 pm, as they were quite sold out and had limited options. They are filled with plenty of rice. They are small in size, so you can enjoy various types, which is nice.

Located in a back alley near Kagurazaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, you will find Ohagi and Daifuku Kagurazaka store. It seems they also have a store in Jiyugaoka. This niche shop specializing in ohagi seemed to fit right in Kagurazaka. While they offer both ohagi and daifuku, on this day they only had one type of salted soybean daifuku, with a variety of cool and refreshing wagashi called Mizumochi instead. Since I don't often have the chance to eat ohagi, I was intrigued and decided to buy some from this shop. I purchased three different types: red bean paste, bean-filled, and soba. The ohagi was all subtly sweet with a simple taste. The fine texture of the mochi rice was particularly noteworthy, similar to the mochi in daifuku. It reminded me of the ohagi I had long ago in the countryside near Obon, but the differences were too great to evoke any nostalgic emotions.

I discovered this shop by chance and decided to visit because I love ohagi. It is located about a 5-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station, in a quiet residential area that I rarely walk through. It seems like a hidden gem. Upon entering, I saw various kinds of ohagi, daifuku, and Mizumochi lined up. They had fillings such as sweet red bean paste, coarse sweet bean paste, kinako (soybean flour), sesame, walnuts, genmaicha (brown rice tea), and salted daifuku. I chose sweet red bean paste and kinako. They were all in cute sizes, about two bites each. When I brought them home, I was surprised to find that they were all made with purple shiso rice! It was my first time trying such ohagi, so I was quite surprised. The kinako had sweet red bean paste inside, which balanced the flavors well. The genmaicha had a strong purple shiso flavor. The Mizumochi looked refreshing and perfect for summer. They also have a shop in Jiyugaoka, so I would like to visit again to try different menu items if I have the chance.

The store had a Daifuku mentioned in its name but not available in the products, so I tried it immediately. It had a light salty taste on the surface, and the sweet bean paste inside was delicious as always. The chewy skin paired well with it. The assorted mini ohagi set of 6 flavors (smooth, coarse, black sesame, kinako, genmaicha, barley) were all delicious, but it's hard to make a decision when the heat is still lingering.

Located less than a 5-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station, down a narrow alley, is this shop. I made a reservation over the phone around 4 pm on a holiday before visiting. At the time of the call, they only had remaining rice cakes with sweet bean paste and grilled corn as the daily special. If you want a wider variety, it's best to contact them early. The shop is quite hard to find, but there is a small sign nearby that can help you locate it. I purchased the remaining rice cakes with sweet bean paste and the grilled corn rice cake. The total cost was 490 yen for both, and they accepted payment via PayPay. The rice cakes are best consumed on the day of purchase. In terms of taste, they are gentle and not too sweet. The sweet bean paste doesn't have any particularly unique characteristics, but it's not overly sweet. The grilled corn rice cake has plenty of corn on top, with a strong grilled aroma and the unique sweetness of corn. Both rice cakes have a small size and a gentle sweetness, which seems to be the common point of this shop's rice cakes. Overall, I felt that they focused more on a quirky concept rather than sheer deliciousness.

When I went there after a long time, I found a set of 6 small Ohagi for sale. It's recommended because you can try a little bit of each flavor.■Order details◯Wappa Mini 6 Variety Set 880 yenToday's Ohagi includes small Ohagi of all varieties. It's convenient because you don't have to worry about which one to buy. Flavors include Grilled Corn, Genmai Tsubu Anko, Shio Anko, Kinako, and Black Sesame. They all have a hint of shiso and are very delicious. The Genmai Tea, which was the daily special, had a refreshing aroma of roasted rice in the sweet anko. The Grilled Corn had white anko inside the rice, which paired well with the lightly sweet corn.■MiscellaneousOhagi usually comes in 4 standard flavors and 2 daily specials. You can check the daily specials on Twitter or Instagram.

It's about a stylish little ohagi specialty shop located about a 2-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station, surrounded by private houses. Today, I purchased the "tsubu" for 220 yen and the "kinako" for 240 yen, totaling 450 yen. Both are small in size but have a moderate sweetness and an elegant taste. The mochi rice is also delicious. I enjoyed them until the end. Thank you for the meal.

Yesterday, while writing reviews, I suddenly felt like eating Daifuku and Mizumochi. So I headed out to Kagurazaka. Due to the rain, the streets were quieter than usual. There were no other customers in the shop either. Mizumochi came in three flavors: black honey with roasted soybean flour, ramune, and sudachi. Unfortunately, the black honey with roasted soybean flour (2 pieces for 900 yen) was sold out. I ended up buying two salted Daifuku (1 piece for 250 yen). However, Mizumochi was quite expensive. It was white and chewy, with a cute appearance as always. The skin was firm and couldn't be cut with a fork, so I just took a bite. The sweet and salty red bean paste was delicious - a nice balance of flavors. The texture of the red bean paste and skin was great. The ohagi and Daifuku here are not too sweet, which even my husband, who doesn't like sweet things, enjoys. We really enjoyed it.

This is a refined and delicious ohagi. The kinako has anko inside. The anko has shiso leaves mixed in, giving it a slightly sweet and salty flavor. The white anko is the sweetest, but still delicious. The shio-daifuku is very soft and chewy. It's my favorite at the ohagi shop. The Mizumanju was often sold out, but I was able to purchase it. It comes in kinako, ramune, and black honey flavors. The process of breaking the water balloon is fun and makes for a perfect souvenir.

Since opening, they have only been selling ohagi, but now they have introduced daifuku as well. ■Order details - Salt Daifuku: 260 yen A lightly salted sweet red bean paste. The outer layer is soft and chewy, made with 100% mochi rice instead of gyuhi. - Uguisu: 240 yen This shiso-flavored rice is as delicious as ever. It goes well with kinako. Uguisu is made with green soybean kinako, as you can see from its vibrant green color. ■Miscellaneous It seems that the Kagurazaka branch has slightly raised their prices starting from May. It's delicious, so it's not a big deal. Rising prices are inevitable, right?

I had a meal in Kagurazaka and was strolling through the back alleys when I happened to come across a sign that read "Handmade Ohagi Specialty Shop". It was quite rare to see an ohagi specialty shop, so even though I wasn't particularly hungry, I was lured in by the sign. The inside of the shop had a simple layout with ohagi lined up, and they looked so delicious that I couldn't resist. Unfortunately, they were sold out of daifuku that day, so I ordered the following instead: - Koshi (220 yen) - Uguisu (240 yen) - Black sesame (240 yen) - Peanut (250 yen) The ohagi were all neatly shaped into round balls. They were not very big, but they had a certain elegance to them that was very appealing. The Koshi was a classic ohagi, and the Uguisu had a flavor similar to kinako, which was also delicious. The black sesame and peanut had great flavors that were quite unique, overturning the traditional image of ohagi. It had been a while since I had eaten ohagi, but they were all very delicious. I would love to try different flavors and daifuku next time.

I learned about this place from a review by Mairebi-sama. It's a 3-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station. I used to live around there over 30 years ago, and it has changed quite a bit. The tatami shop is still going strong, which made me happy. This place is a specialty shop for ohagi (rice cakes). On the day I visited, they had six flavors: green tea, mustard seeds, soybean flour, black sesame, smooth red bean paste, and chunky red bean paste. I bought four of them, excluding smooth and chunky red bean paste. Each costs 200-230 yen. When I got home, I made a hot cup of green tea to enjoy with the ohagi. I had the green tea and sesame flavors. As soon as I opened the pack, a lovely scent of fresh tea filled the air. The white bean paste had green tea powder kneaded into it. The black sesame also had a nice aroma, with smooth red bean paste inside. My family member had the soybean flour with chunky red bean paste, and they said it was delicious. It seems they introduce different flavors of ohagi depending on the season. I will definitely stop by again to try more.

I stopped by while taking a walk in Kagurazaka. The ohagi, carefully made one by one, had just the right amount of sweetness and was perfect for souvenirs. It's tucked away in the back of a residential area, so you might pass by without knowing, but it's the best for traditional Japanese sweets, so I highly recommend it when exploring Kagurazaka.

A takeout specialty shop for ohagi. It's located in a residential area in Kagurazaka. This was my fourth time using their service, and I first discovered it while out for a walk. I decided to try it, and it was so delicious that I have been a repeat customer since. I usually prefer ohagi with sweet bean paste, but the recommended choice here is the coarse sweet bean paste with shiso inside, which is not too sweet and refreshing! It's so delicious that you can easily eat 2 or 3 pieces. This time, I bought it as a gift. I was curious about the seasonal limited edition flavors of matcha and sansho, so I bought them. The result was a big hit! The staff is very friendly, and this is a highly recommended shop for those who love Japanese sweets.

It seems to be a shop that appeared on "Yoshisanpo" (according to a friend). They have classic ohagi and seasonal ohagi. The shop is small, maybe only one customer can enter at a time? It's the type of shop where there might be a line. However, when I visited on the weekend, we only had to wait for about 2 groups. The ohagi was small, not too sweet, and I finished 2 pieces easily.

When you pass through the residential area of Kagurazaka, you will find Ohagi and Daifuku-san with modern yet traditional Japanese storefronts. Ohagi has a cute round shape and a mild sweetness, making it appealing to a wide range of ages. They offer classic flavors like red bean paste, sweet soybean flour, and sweet bean paste, as well as seasonal varieties like cherry blossom and buckwheat. The mochi rice inside is mixed with finely chopped perilla leaves, giving it a refreshing taste. Despite their small size, they are quite satisfying to eat, with just two being enough to fill you up.

I was really interested in watching the TV show "Yoshi no Shingo" and I'm glad I could visit the restaurant! The interior was small, but it was interesting to find it in such a place. The food was delicious! There were 5 types available when I went! I was lucky to buy the soybean flour one! I especially liked the black sesame flavor!

When I checked Twitter, I saw that today's daily sweet bean paste flavors were Japanese black tea and cherry blossom, so I hurried to visit the shop. There was also a teaser for the upcoming release of "Daifuku" soon. I'm looking forward to it. - Order details: Japanese black tea ohagi - 220 yen Cherry blossom ohagi - 230 yen The Japanese black tea ohagi had a refreshing tea aroma when you bite into it. It had a light sweetness, without the bitterness or astringency of tea, making it smooth. The Japanese black tea sweet bean paste was also delicious. The cherry blossom ohagi was made with white sweet bean paste mixed with cherry blossom leaves. It had the scent of cherry blossoms. Yes, this one was delicious too! - Miscellaneous notes: There is also a space outside the shop for those who want to eat on the spot.

Rice balls with the flavor of shiso that goes well with the sweetness of anko. ■Order details ○Kinako 210 yen Rice ball with kinako with a firm texture. The sweetness of kinako is gentle, isn't it? ○Black sesame 220 yen Just the right amount of sesame flavor, not too strong. Even if you're not a fan of sesame, this should be okay. ○Genmaicha 220 yen A fragrant flavor with the scent of genmaicha. This also goes well with anko and shiso. ■Miscellaneous The owner, the signboard girl, and now a big new staff member seems to have joined without me noticing. Thanks to the increase in members, even at a slightly later time, it feels easier to buy without items being sold out.

On a Saturday in March 2023, I visited Kagurazaka. While Kagurazaka Street itself is nice, I personally prefer the back alleys for their hidden gems. One such gem I discovered is a shop called "Ohagi and Daifuku," specializing in ohagi. The shop seems quite popular based on reviews. I had never heard of such a shop before, so I felt a sense of accomplishment in finding it. The shop is tucked away in a back alley, so using Google Maps is recommended. The prices for their ohagi are reasonable, and the taste is elegant with a subtle sweetness. The ohagi is small and refined, and the addition of chopped shiso leaves with the sweet bean paste adds a nice touch. Overall, as someone who usually only eats supermarket ohagi, I found this to be a high-quality and sophisticated treat. This experience has definitely elevated my ohagi standards.
