Monzou-an — Restaurant in Kawagoe

Good place to get souvenirs for kawagoe, they are fairly reasonably priced and we managed to get some . We arrived fairly late in the day near closure time, so there wasn’t a crowd . Staff are helpful and will make recommendations if needed. They didn’t have stock left for the combination gift snack set , so they packed it on the spot ,...

Speaking of Kawagoe, sweet potatoes come to mind. Try a new kind of smoothie. Sweet potato cultivation has been thriving in Kawagoe since the Edo period, and it still is today, so you can try a variety of sweet potato desserts in the city. At Monzouan, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Kawagoe, the popular "Kawagoe Potato Smoothie" is made with sweet potatoes, bean paste, and milk. It's a smoothie that feels like a dessert, with the gentle sweetness of sweet potato. The most popular souvenir from the shop, the "Kawagoe Potato Cookie," has a crisp texture and the flavor of sweet potato fills your mouth. Its cute shape, which represents the cross-section of a sweet potato, is heart-warming♪
