Soratsuki

The gem-like form of ichigo daifuku make them pop amongst the seafood offerings at Tsukiji: a ball of sweetened bean paste, wrapped in mochi (rice cake) dough, with a ripe strawberry in the middle. The juicy flesh of the fresh strawberry makes these mochi a must. At Soratsuki, you can go for the classic red bean paste, or experiment with variations like yomogi (Japanese mugwort), pastry cream, mango, yuzu, matcha and edamame. They cost ¥350 for one piece or three for ¥1,050.
