I hadn’t heard about this place until recently, but with the mystique around the shop I knew I wanted to come. It’s been a shop that the royal family had visited for generations, so you know it’s good. And of course the prices are a bit higher than other establishments, but it’s worth it to try. There is a cafe that is quite popular and you’ll more than likely have to wait to get in. The second floor has a shop where you can take things to go, albeit not the same selection. The white bean paste, black bean paste, and matcha wagashi (和菓子) were all delicious. Great service as you’d expect. Make sure to stop by.

Toraya, a maker of traditional Japanese confection (wagashi), has a history dating back to the 16th century. The building itself is worth a visit. The interior walls made from hinoki cypress give the place a warm and elegant feel. Sipping hot matcha tea and having a dessert on the 3rd floor facing the Akasaka Imperial Grounds is almost zen like. The desserts are not cheap but definitely worth it. On the first floor, you can buy many different kinds of wagashi. The shop is easily accessible via the subway and is about a 5-minute walk from the Akasaka-mitsuke subway station.

To escape the super summer hot weather, we stopped by this fancy place to get shaved ice dessert. It’s a quiet place but it’s not a place to stay long to chill and relax. Felt actually a bit rushed to finish our dessert but the service was very good. So, why not 5/5? The dessert itself was just okay. It was quite expensive so we tried to eat as much even though we ordered small sized desserts. Unless you are in the area and really want to try a “fancy” dessert, it’s forgettable.

We visited autumn season at the lunch time. This cafe is always crowded but you can use the online waiting time management system on the shop homepage. So you can check the waiting time and join the waiting line, too. We ordered seasonal meal and a classic Japanese dessert including the agar jelly, boiled beans and maron paste which was special for only this season. After the lunch, we moved to the shop of sweets and got some Japanese sweets made of maron which we preferred.

This company is around 500 years old. They serve delicious tea and fresh wagashi in their tea room on the third floor. Everything was superb. Mostly everything just happens to be vegan, though one item on their menu said it contained eggs, and one flavor or their box of assorted yokan is honey. Great experience, great food. A little bit expensive, but not too crazy. We had two fresh wagashi each with tea and it was about $12 per person.
