When visiting Senso-ji Temple, as you make your way along the lively Nakamise Street, be sure to try this popular monaka specialty shop with lines out the door! Each order is freshly made, with thin, crisp, fragrant rice wafers filled with rich ice cream, Hokkaido red beans, and other generous fillings. The crunchy, aromatic rice wafers pair beautifully with the cold, creamy filling, creating layers of texture. It’s one of Asakusa’s most iconic sweets to enjoy while strolling around.

The crispy shell made from glutinous rice is filled with a sweet filling. Its shape, modeled after the giant red lantern at Kaminarimon Gate, is really unique and eye-catching.

This is an ice cream specialty shop. They use domestically produced glutinous rice to make the wafers. It's also a famous local treat in Asakusa.
