Read moreHave you ever had a food that became synonymous with a travel destination? For me, that food is daifuku. The first time I had it was eight years ago, and I’ve never stopped thinking about it.
What is daifuku, you ask? Well, it’s a small, soft, chewy mochi (Japanese rice cake) wrapped around a sweet filling this is traditionally anko, or sweet red bean paste. The name itself means “great luck,” which is how ai felt the first time I enjoyed this treat!. You’ll find daifuku in confectionary shops, supermarkets, and convenience stores all over Japan, and there are endless variations: strawberry (ichigo daifuku), matcha, custard, even lightly salted versions like shio daifuku.
This time, at Solatsuki in Tsukiji Outer Market, I went straight for the ichigo daifuku. The balance was a perfect blend of the soft chew of the mochi, the gentle sweetness of the paste, and the freshness of the strawberry on top. I followed it up with a slice of Japanese melon that had a sweetness of candy but the lightness and refreshment of fruit... it felt like candy crafted by nature.
If breakfast was tradition, then this stop was pure joy and a reminder that sometimes the simplest bites, discovered in the bustle of Tsukiji, are the ones that linger longest. If you’re walking Tsukiji, don’t leave without stopping at Solatsuki. It’s a little taste of great luck you...
Read moreThe kids enjoyed the desserts here but like all other reviews, the prices are steep. Of course, this is a tourists location and most probably a tourist trap. Honestly, we have had similar desserts at other places and tasted as good, if not better.
Service wise, there ample room for improvement. Not very friendly and can sense a bit of racism with the vendor. Before me was a Caucasian and the server was communication with him in english. However when it came to our turn, we used English as well as we couldn’t speak Japanese and the server refused to speak English and continued to use Japanese in which we couldn’t even understand. I do understand that we are Chinese and there have been bad reputation among Chinese tourists globally, but in fact, we are Chinese from singapore. But even if it’s Chinese from China, we should also try to be as tolerating and accommodating as possible since they are...
