Centuries-old sweets shop known for its walnut mochi confection served with shaved ice.
"For almost 700 years, Kanbukuro has been producing a single sweet: kuromi mochi, or walnut rice cakes. The sticky, bite-sized balls are soaked in a green bean paste and topped with shaved ice in the summertime. While Kanbukuro’s sweets are not the most aesthetic, they have received rave reviews from figures like lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi and tea ceremony master Sen no Rikyū since Japan’s Feudal days." - La Carmina, Michael Sosnick
