Shoseido

Located in Nakamurakita, Nerima, Shoseido crafts simple, comforting wagashi and seasonal Japanese confections. Its grilled dango skewers brushed with savory-sweet mitarashi sauce deliver a pleasant, lightly charred aroma, standing alongside an-dango coated in sweet azuki bean paste and seasonal kashiwamochi as convenient snacks for tea time.

Because purchases are packaged quickly to take away, the shop is easy to slip into when you have little time to spare. It serves as a handy neighbourhood fixture whenever you want straightforward traditional sweets to enjoy at home.
