About

Ichimonjiya Wasuke serves just aburi mochi: small, chewy rice cakes grilled over charcoal and brushed with sweet white miso sauce, with tea alongside. The centuries-old shop’s tatami rooms and small inner garden make it a peaceful stop near Imamiya Shrine; a plate costs about ¥600, though the sweet sauce isn’t for everyone.
