Kakigōri shaved ice is one technique to make Tokyo summers bearable. Matcha and azuki is a traditional mixture. Some sweetened condensed milk to make it richer. Umezono is a well-known conventional sweets store in Asakusa. This department is within the Nihonbashi Takashimaya division retailer, on the seventh ground, within the kimono division.
I used to be stunned to find that this store was right here. I used to work within the retailer and had walked by way of the kimono part a number of instances and someway by no means seen there was a restaurant.
Close by is a department of Sukiyabashi Jiro. The well-known sushiya from the documentary Jiro Desires of Sushi.
One other factor I found was that males have began working as elevator operators at Takashimaya. I used to be in an elevator full of kimono-clad clients, me, and the male operator. I stated in Japanese, “How uncommon, a person working the elevator.” and the women had a pleasant snicker. The younger man had a deep voice that echoed on every ground as he known as out letting customers know the elevator was accessible. He stated he had just lately began. One other male operator stated that he’s been on the job for nearly two years. I needed them each properly.
Eating at shops is a good tip when touring in Japan. I wrote about it right here for @foodandwine:
