Visit Tokyo: Asakusa Kokonoe

Asakusa Nakamise is a shopping center that stretches from the Kaminarimon Gate to the Hozomon Gate of the Sensoji Temple.  The street is lined with a variety of shops selling all types of wares and food.  We stopped at Asakusa Kokonoe to try the famous deep-fried manju.

I am not a fan of manju at all, but I just had to try!

Sakura

Pumpkin

Chocolate

Monjayaki

I opted for the Sakura manju (of course!).  I liked the crispy, outer layer, but the sakura filling was just not to my liking.  I liked the pumpkin one a lot better.

If you love manju, be sure to check Asakusa Kokonoe!
