Meguro River in Tokyo is known as a famous place for cherry blossoms. This year's cherry blossom season is over, but there are many attractive shops in Meguro that you want to visit even if you don't want to see the cherry blossoms.

Tamagawa ya

Introducing this time is the Japanese sweets shop "Tamagawaya" in Meguro. In addition to the standard Japanese sweets, sweets named after Meguro are also on sale.

Butter dorayaki

Among the many products, the most popular is "Butter Dorayaki". The dough has a slight sweetness, and is sandwiched between green peas and Fuki beans, and high-quality whipped butter. The price is 190 yen.


The best match is the moist and soft dough, the sticky bean paste, and the light butter. There are beans with a chewy texture in some places on the bean paste, which is a good accent. The bean paste is sandwiched tightly, so it's excellent to eat!


The refreshing sweetness of the dough and bean paste is mellowly wrapped in the umami of butter. Although it is rich, the aftertaste is light. Speaking of dorayaki, you can meet a new taste that overturns the image of "red bean paste" in a good way.

Coffee warabi mochi

In addition to dorayaki, if you visit the store, you should definitely try "Coffee Warabimochi". It is a mysterious and attractive dish like Western confectionery like Japanese confectionery. The price is 170 yen.


It looks like coffee jelly, but the texture is warabi mochi. Although it has firm elasticity, it can be melted smoothly. The unique, sticky texture that sticks to your tongue is addictive!


A sharp taste with a coffee-like bitterness that spreads after an elegant sweetness. Finally, the mellow scent gently comes out of your nose. Because it's simple, it's delicious and you won't get tired of it.


Sprinkle the attached milk to make a creamy warabi mochi. You can enjoy a mellow taste that adds richness to the rich flavor of coffee. You can apply it from the beginning, or you can enjoy the change in taste in the middle. Have fun to your liking!


Tamagawaya's "Butter Dorayaki" and "Coffee Warabimochi" make you aware of the new charm of Japanese sweets. It's a perfect companion for a walk in Meguro.
