Nanarica

While wagashi shop Nanarica in Waseda has made its name with monaka wafers, its yokan (red bean jelly bars) take the prize for prettiest packaging. The neat flower illustrations are the ideal accompaniment to these refined, slightly sweet desserts. Look out for seasonal varieties such as persimmon and ume plum, and if you have a sweet tooth but a tight budget, remember that half-size yokan are available too.
