Eijudo

At Eijudo, the first choice to ponder is the filling for your ohagi, a rice cake coated with sweet bean paste or soybean flour. Options include chunky red bean paste, smooth red bean paste and kinako (roasted soybean flour). One visitor who bought a two-piece set described the sweets as gently sweet and soft. Choosing two different varieties at once—kinako with smooth bean paste, for example, or kinako with chunky bean paste—is part of the appeal.

Strawberry daifuku is another popular choice, pairing smooth white bean paste with a thin layer of mochi. One diner said the filling was not overly sweet and that the balance of sweetness and tartness in the strawberry stood out. You can go specifically for the strawberry daifuku, or pair it with ohagi to compare the different bean pastes.

For another classic, try Abekawa mochi when you are in the mood for kinako. One visitor noted the generous coating and a hint of salt, while another praised the mochi itself. It offers a different kind of rice-cake sweet from ohagi.

A review of the dorayaki described the bean paste as not too sweet, pairing nicely with the gently sweet pancake-like cakes. Visitors have also reported buying sakura mochi, mitarashi dango and uguisu mochi, among other sweets—leaving plenty to choose from on a return visit.

One visitor asked about ohagi that were not on display and said the shop prepared some for them, though the selection and service may depend on the day's circumstances. There are also reports of customers eating in the shop. The guidance indicates that payment is cash only, so it is worth checking payment options before stopping by.
