Monzennakacho To go Gourmet

Fukagawa Iseya

Founded in 1907, Fukagawa Iseya is a confectionery shop in Fukagawa's downtown Fukagawa area that offers dango, daifuku, norimaki, inari, and other sweets for casual enjoyment. Currently, there are five stores centering on the main store and Hirano store.


We reviewed a total of five products: four types of skewered dango ("yaki dango," "an dango," "zunda dango," and "sesame dango") and daifuku (bean-shaped rice cake). The sticky, rice-flavored dango are as one would expect from a long-established Japanese confectionary store!
