Kanda Daruma Ebisu

Stuffed with ample amounts of just-right red bean paste, Kanda Daruma's signature square taiyaki has won over Tokyoites fond of traditional sweets – in addition to their main store in Ogawamachi, you'll find branches of the snack shack as far as Ikebukuro and Ueno. This Ebisu outpost is their newest location and deals in both the fish-shaped, pancake-like classic and a wide variety of deep-fried manju confections. Try the Imo-An, flavoured with black sesame and black sugar and served hot straight from the hotplate.
