I had some business to do in Shinjuku, so I went to visit the 100 famous stores in Shinjuku. The second store I visited after the patisserie was Toranomon Okano Eisen Shinjuku Takashimaya store.
This is a Japanese sweets shop located on the basement floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. This shop has been selected as one of the 2023 Tabelog 100 Famous Japanese Sweets and Sweets Restaurants.
I bought chestnut manju and monaka. The chestnut manju contains candied chestnuts, so you can feel the sweetness of the chestnuts. Combined with the sweetness of the red bean paste, it has a rich taste. Monaka has a crispy texture and the skin of the monaka is delicious. The combination of grained bean paste increases the flavor.

100 Famous Japanese Sweets and Sweets Shops
Visited "Toranomon Eisen Okano Shinjuku Takashimaya store".
Okano Eisen is a very long-established store that was founded in 1873.
When I arrived around 12:30 on Sunday, there were several groups at the store.
I was able to pay the bill after waiting a few minutes.
There is no eat-in
I bought Mame Daifuku @270 yen and took it out.
The bean paste in Mame Daifuku is so smooth!
It goes well with rice cake and is delicious.
It was delicious till the end.
Maybe I would like it a little more salty?

"Eisen Okano" whose main store is Toranomon
Daifuku is too famous, isn't it?
At the Takashimaya store in Shinjuku, this is a popular item that sells out by mid-morning.
The softness of the rice cake, the elegance of the bean paste, and the seasoning of the beans make it the most delicious daifuku I've ever had.
The price of 270 yen is also reasonable. The expiration date is the same day.
It depends on Takashimaya's business hours, so as of June 2022, it is open at 10:30.
