Akariya

Great spot for anmitsu and other Japanese desserts for both dine-in and takeout! Has lunch/dinner options as well. Definitely recommend trying the different varieties of anmitsu, some of which are plant-based.

Try the soybean-sesame oil udon (790 yen as ala carter during lunch time)! It's so unique and delicious. The soup tastes slightly milky but mainly aromatic because of sesame oil. The udon is also pleasantly chewy. My only complaint on this dish would be its lack of poutry. The amount of minced chicken is so little once compared to its noodle. This restaurant is popular but tiny. So, don't go there when you are very hungry and it's meal time. You can expect at least 10 minutes of waiting time.

I visited here during the Kawagoe Matsuri. This is a great little place to take a rest after walking half of the route. The Japanese dessert is just like how it looks on the photo, as expected it’s a bit too sweet for me because of the red bean mash. But highly recommended if you like sweet.

This place serves several authentic Japanese sweets and treats. For example green tea ice cream with red bean paste.
