Tokutaro (徳太樓)
This is a luxurious Japanese sweet store behind the Asakusa Temple and Hanayashiki. The store is located in downtown Tokyo (Shitamachi), but it also delivers to local restaurants. Even when you’re completely full, you will still be able to fit in a light kintsuba, which is made from sweetened red beans wrapped in wheat flour dough. It’s no wonder that over 500 kintsuba are sold every day.
1. This wooden lamp bearing the shop’s name adds an artistic touch to the entrance.
2. A whole sweetened chestnut with cream provides the perfect taste of autumn.
3. Look for the cloth signs in front of the traditional nostalgia-inducing shopfront for traditional Japanese sweets.
4. A wide variety of boxed sweets are available, the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends!
