Enroute Endo Sushi and weaving in and out of lanes brought us to this confectionary in a row of tailors and rice shop amidst the neighbourhood.
Barely understanding what this was, we stepped in to check it out.
And emerged with a couple of favourites.
Mochi with red bean and chestnut had to be one of the more special ones with the additional chestnut.
Still irresistible.
The sponge of this was alot denser than the fluffy convenience store types. Red bean filling had more whole beans too, wholesome snack.
Thinking back, chancing upon such a confectionery was a surreal experience. The same way a tourist would feel stepping into Chin Mee Chin. That feeling of being transported back in time, finding something in an oddly misplaced neighbourhood. For a feel of japanese neighbourhood, take a train down to Noda station or any other station and wander around...you'd be surprised what that visit could uncover.
