English blog No.5 『Bunkyo Gourmet Map “Tsuboya Sohonten”』

“Tsuboya Sohonten” was founded as Japanese confectionary supplier to the imperial palace in Kanei era (1624-1645).

 

With 400 years of history, it still appears an old style store.

There are some high-grade sweets named after the store's name such as “Tsubo-monaka (bean-jam-filled wafers) ”, “Tsubo-shiruko (sweet red-bean jam) ”, and also “Yushima-no-ume (plum of Yushimajam) ” which all have deep tasty flavors.

 

 

Among them, my recommendation is “Tsubogata Monaka (Pot Shape Monaka)”. Not only taste, you can enjoy the appearances.

 

 

“Tsubogata Monaka (Tsubu Anko) ” Yen 230(including tax)

 

 

“Tsubogata Monaka (Koshi Anko) ” Yen 210(including tax)

The address of the shop : 3-42-8 Hongo, Bunkyo City, Tokyo.
