3. Mosuke Dango

Mosuke Dango, a venerable wagashi shop that traces its roots back to Tsukiji Market, has been delighting taste buds for over 120 years since its establishment in 1898. Today, its dango (sweet dumplings), anmitsu (sweet bean jelly), and zoni (mochi soup) continue to be favorites among many.

During the cherry blossom season, their sakura mochi is particularly recommendable. This treat consists of soft mochi encased in cherry blossom petals, generously filled with sweet red bean paste. It's not only visually appealing but also embodies the spirit of spring.

Furthermore, Mosuke Dango offers two variations of sakura mochi: the Kanto-style Chomeiji, characterized by its thin, wheat flour dough, and the Kansai-style Domyoji, noted for its chewy texture made from Domyoji flour.
