CINNABON, which comes from Seattle and is known for its cinnamon rolls, has around 1,800 locations worldwide. I happened to come across one while shopping at Tokyo Station!

I’m a cinnamon roll lover, and when I spotted the counter from a distance, filled with all kinds of cinnamon rolls covered in generous amounts of icing, they looked so tempting that I couldn’t help but stop and buy one to try.

I had high expectations, thinking that such a famous cinnamon roll would taste impressive. When I got it, it looked so sweet and tempting that I couldn’t wait to take a bite.

But when I actually tried it, it wasn’t as good as I had imagined and lacked that wow factor for me. Maybe my expectations for the cinnamon roll were too high, so I ended up feeling a little disappointed after finishing it.

All I can say is that I came with high expectations, but it didn’t completely win over my taste buds! Still, since I was at Tokyo Station and came across this well-known cinnamon roll shop, it was worth buying one to experience it for myself. After all, everyone’s tastes are different.

來到淺草仲見世通，當然不能錯過這間歷史悠久的老店「木村家本店」！店裡最有名的就是以淺草特色景點為造型的人形燒，外型相當可愛，裡面包著紅豆餡，感覺就像是日式造型版的紅豆雞蛋糕。

經過店家時，看到不少人排隊購買，熱鬧的人潮也讓我忍不住停下腳步，跟著大家買來嚐鮮。

實際吃起來，外皮帶著淡淡的雞蛋香，口感鬆軟綿密，像是稍微紮實一點的傳統雞蛋糕；裡面的紅豆餡細緻綿滑，與蛋糕外皮搭配起來很有日式和菓子的風味。

不過，紅豆餡的甜度對我來說還是稍微高了一些，吃起來比較甜，喜歡日式甜點的人應該會很喜歡。

來到淺草，除了欣賞雷門和仲見世通的熱鬧街景，也很值得買來體驗一下這份當地傳統甜點。對我來說，嚐鮮一次很有紀念價值，但回購的意願就沒有那麼高啦！

While at Tokyo Station, I came across PRECIOUS DELI TOKYO and couldn’t resist going in for a look! The store has a wide variety of products, from all kinds of distinctive Japanese foods and prepared meals to beautifully packaged gifts. There was so much to see that it was almost overwhelming. As I browsed, it felt like every corner had a little surprise worth discovering.

I really like curated shops like this that bring together all kinds of food. Instead of having to visit several different places, you can find a variety of distinctive Japanese products all in one place. Whether you want to buy something as a snack or pick out gifts to bring back to Taiwan, it’s very convenient. As you browse, you really can’t help wanting to take a few extra things home (laughs)!

If you’re near the Yaesu North Exit of Tokyo Station, you might want to set aside some time to browse. You can also pick up a few things before catching your train and add a little food-related fun to your trip〜

When I saw this “Tokyo Suzu Monaka” at Tokyo Station, its cute bell shape immediately caught my eye! I learned that the design was inspired by the Silver Bell, a famous meeting spot at Tokyo Station. Turning a familiar landmark into Japanese wagashi is such a clever idea.

The pink and grayish-white packaging also feels high-quality and makes a very presentable gift. In addition to the bell shape, there are also chestnut-shaped treats with Chinese zodiac themes. They’re delicate and charming, and each one makes you want to take it home.

After actually trying one, I found that it really does look adorable and has the rich flavor of traditional Japanese wagashi. However, it was a little too sweet for me, so one was enough to leave me feeling satisfied.

If you like traditional Japanese sweets or are looking for a small souvenir with a distinctive Tokyo touch, this is definitely worth checking out!
