Asakusa Kagetsudo is a shop of long standing established in 1945. A lot of people queue for the jumbo melon pan (bread) on weekdays and weekends. The melon pan was first baked 15 years ago. The tour guides who come to Sensoji first found this melon pan and recommended it to tourists. People came to know about this melon pan by word-of-mouth and started queuing up. The shop was originally located conveniently near Nakamise, but the owners were worried about the long lines of people causing inconvenience to their neighbors and moved to the gateway of Nishisando shopping area to the left of the main hall.
