Okashitsukasa Aoyagi

Coffee lovers may be drawn to the coffee warabi mochi at Okashitsukasa Aoyagi. One diner said its coffee flavour stood out; they had ordered it alongside anmitsu and found the warabi mochi especially memorable.

For a seasonal treat, consider the strawberry daifuku. The large strawberry catches the eye, and one review praised the berry’s freshness, the soft daifuku and the mildly sweet tsubuan, or chunky red bean paste. It was also well received by someone who does not usually enjoy tsubuan.

For a more substantial sweet, try Nerima Taiko, named after the shop. It comes with ogura bean paste, matcha or brown sugar, and reviewers have noted its generous size. Some also enjoy it as a chestnut dorayaki. One diner compared the soft dorayaki batter to pancakes. The different flavours can also be assembled into an assortment to give as a gift.
