The signature item at Akasaka Aono, Main Branch is Akasaka Mochi, made by kneading walnuts and brown sugar into mochi and coating it generously with kinako (roasted soybean flour). Wrapping each piece individually in a small furoshiki cloth is said to have originated with this shop, turning the moment of untying the knot into part of the pleasure of receiving the gift. The summer-exclusive chilled mitarashi dango features smooth, tender mochi made with tapioca flour, paired with a sweet and savory mitarashi sauce, and online reservations are reportedly so fiercely contested that it becomes a race to secure them. Distinctive specialties such as mame daifuku with a subtle sweetness that highlights the red bean flavor and Goma Meigetsu coated in a sweet-savory black sesame sauce are also available. The dignified exterior dating back to its 1899 founding and the refined, courteous customer service make the time spent choosing souvenirs pleasant. With only 2 seats inside, the shop focuses on takeout and opens from 09:00, so be sure to check its Sunday and holiday closures before visiting.
