Miyoshi

The savory aroma of soy sauce drifting down the street invites passersby to pause outside Miyoshi. The shopfront showcase displays glazed mitarashi dango with classic sweet-savory sauce, fragrant isobeyaki wrapped in nori, and pleasantly chewy grilled dango, striking just the right note for an unpretentious daily snack. Alongside staples like red bean paste and zunda (sweet green soybean paste), as well as white bean paste with an appealing milky flavor, the selection of rice-cake sweets, including mame daifuku and ohagi, satisfies any mochi enthusiast.

The appeal of visiting extends well beyond confections. The shop also prepares a satisfying array of rolled dishes suitable for a meal, including shiitake rolls filled with thoroughly seasoned mushrooms, thick futomaki, and spam rolls combining tamagoyaki with sautéed Spam. Offerings of okowa (steamed glutinous rice) and inari sushi further ensure plenty of reliable choices when putting together a hearty lunch.

Thanks to the convenience of quick takeout, customers can enjoy the relaxed neighborhood sweet-shop ritual of filling up on savory rolls before finishing with a skewer of dango. Payment is cash only, making it best to have coins and small bills on hand before stopping by.
