This is a branch of the famous Mangando main store in Azuma-Bashi, on the other side of the Sumida river from Asakusa. The specialty Imokin (sweet potato cake) has been loved by everyone, the Oiran of old Yoshiwara, geisha and the masters of traditional arts, throughout the ages. This recently-opened Asakusa branch is popular with visitors to the Sensoji temple for its easy access. The shop offers sample Imokin (from \100). It’s not too sweet and very popular even with men. Buy a piping hot slice to take home or to eat on your stroll around Asakusa, either way is a great way to enjoy this delicious treat. This branch also sells baked sweet potato-flavored soft serve ice cream with sweet potato crepe (\280), an Asakusa branch original. |
