Toraya Ginza
I've eaten wagashi across Japan. Toraya's memoirs in anko form — their seasonal higashi — are the most precise expression of sweetness I know.
Five-century-old wagashi house with a Ginza tearoom. The yokan here is the standard by which all other yokan is measured. Eat it with thin tea.
