Many locals queue up at Kanmi Mitsuya in Asakusa to get a taste of its delicious shiratama dango mochi. The mochi is freshly made daily and comes in different flavours — kuromitsu kinako (black honey and roasted soybean powder), mitarashi (sweet soy sauce glaze), zunda (sweet bean) and matcha.
One plate (¥980) includes five mochi balls, but you can upgrade it to two flavours (¥1,130), which means it comes with an additional mochi. For an additional ¥150, you can add red bean paste or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, too. Every order comes with a side of kanten jelly topped with a seasonal syrup and tea.
You can also take some mochi home from Kanmi Mitsuya’s takeout store, which is located just a few minutes away.
