Mamekanten, a signboard menu that was provided immediately after ordering. The brightly shining figure is like a black pearl! It is a wasteful beauty to eat.


The plump beans are exquisitely soft and crumble when chewed. A soft texture, a moist and rich umami, and a slight saltiness that remains in the aftertaste. The smooth skin is a little bit, but it has no peculiarity, and you can fully enjoy the charm of beans until the end.


The agar, which has a faint aroma of gelidiaceae, is crisp and refreshing. Black honey is not thick and smooth, and its sweetness and aroma are modest. An elegant sweetness is added to the beans and agar.


It's a very simple menu, but it's a dish that you can enjoy without getting tired because the deliciousness of beans, agar, and black honey are combined in a well-balanced manner. How about when you want to take a rest in Asakusa!
