Nishiyama

(Source : )
Diagonally across the Kaminarimon in Asakusa, there is Nishiyama, a Japanese sweets cafe established in 1852. It is a historic establishment of more than 160 years and is currently managed by the 6th generation. Its main dishes served are anmitsu (jelly dessert with red bean paste and fruits), oshiruko and zenzai (sweet red bean soups). The smell of the steaming manju (sweet red bean buns) at the entrance is sure to enhance your appetite. It is a place where you can enjoy traditional Japanese sweets with true hospitality.

Committed to Handmake Each Item

The azuki (sweet red beans), needed for many of the dishes, is carefully handpicked from the finest quality produced in Tokachi, Hokkaido. Not only the "an" (sweet red bean paste) but all other items such as ice cream and shiratama (rice flour dumplings) are handmade by chefs using their experience and expertise.

Special Anmitsu

The specialty is Nishiyama anmitsu (810 yen) made with homemade matcha and vanilla ice cream topped with plenty of shiratama and koshi-an (sweet red bean paste). It is not too sweet, making it perfect for foreigners who are trying anmitsu for the first time.

Another Recommendation is the Manju

Also recommended is the fuku-fuku manju (140 yen) that can be savored while still fresh and steamy. There are also set menus with sencha (a kind of green tea, 450 yen) or with hot coffee (540 yen).
