Shirakaba
Powered by Google
Shirakaba is a family-run wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop that has been hand-making traditional sweets in the backstreets of Kinshicho since 1949. The honten (main store) is a modest, takeout-only counter shop rather than a sit-down cafe, with cases of freshly made dorayaki, mochi, and rice snacks turned out each morning from simple, additive-free ingredients. Signature items include the two-tone Nishiki Dora dorayaki and Tarafuku Monaka, a plump lucky-cat shaped wafer filled with rare white azuki bean paste. Seasonal treats such as shaved-ice zenzai, sakura mochi, and ohagi rotate through the year alongside savory snacks like inari sushi and rice balls.
