Sweet restaurants in Japan

  1. A

    Kazariya

    For more than 300 years, Kazariya has been specialising in aburi-mochi (grilled rice cakes coated with soya-bean flour) and served with miso-dare (sweet-bean paste). It’s a nice place to go for some tea and a sweet after exploring the grounds of Daitoku-ji.

  2. Tenmonkan Mujyaki

    Slake Kagoshima's steamy summers with highly refreshing kakigori (shaved ice with condensed milk, fruits and beans). Go for the shirokuma, with toppings arranged to look like its namesake polar bear. Look for the polar bear outside.

  3. B

    Okashi no Hidaka

    Peruse, if you will, the refrigerator case of luscious-looking Japanese and Western pastries, but order the giant nanjakō-daifuku (dumpling of sweet bean paste, strawberry, chestnut and cheese in a wrapper of airy mochi). Cheese manju (dumplings) are another signature taste of Miyazaki.
