Tokiwado Kaminariokoshihonpo in Asakusa

Good location, nice staff, still hard to communicate when asking about the ingredients. Plus here, the store has a halal sign which made things easier for me and assuming other Muslims. You can ask for a a sample to try different things. Prices are high for what you are getting... maybe this just Tokyo prices.

Japanese rice cakes made on site. Available in different flavors like white sugar, brown sugar, and caramel.

Even a small pack of Japanese bean, the lady also help us wrap it as a nice gift.

No queue or short queue for the freshly prepared ones. ¥300 gets you 100 grams and they’re so great fresh and still delicious later in the day after cooling off and firming up a bit. Can’t believe this place only has three stars—they’re the only shop preparing these addicting toasted rice and brown sugar/butter on site.
