From a couple of visits.
Matcha ice-cream and matcha jelly. Hot Matcha and milk(sweet). Both are really nice~.
Matcha and steamed matcha bun with red bean inside. Matcha parfait.
Matcha Anmitsu. Hot Houjicha milk – this is slightly sweet, very nice!
Have been to the Aoyama branch before(see tag). This branch is on the 6th floor of Yurakucho Seibu.
HAYASHIYA CHAEN
ヨモギ地にアンチーズ。
紅茶まん（アールグレイ入り生地にシナモン粒あん）。
A cafe specialised in manju.
Red bean paste and cheese in a wild grass(yomogi) manju.
Red bean paste and cinnamon in a Earl Grey tea flavoured manju.
The manju are freshly made and come steaming hot and have very soft skin. The chai is strong and rich.
Menu: 1, 2.
I sat on the second floor which has very cute decor. Looks like this cafe is converted from a house. The manju are steamed on the first floor. I didn’t know I had to take off my shoes before climbing the steep stairs and was told off by the staff….I saw some slippers there and wore them without thinking, and was told off again because the slippers are only for the bathroom…^^;; Wish there were signs or something.
Manju Cafe Mugimaru2
くずもち。 あわぜんざい。
From a couple of visits.
Kuzu-mochi – made from kudzu starch, with kinako(soy bean) powder on top. Very nice!
Awa-zenzai – millet and red bean paste, served hot. Good but not quite sticky enough.
くりしるこ（栗の餡）。玉子ぞうに。
Kuri(chestnut) shiruko . Instead of the usual red bean paste, chestnut paste is used. It is so delicious! Eaten with toasted mochi. Served hot.
Ozoni with egg. Can’t see from picture but mochi, kamaboko, somen are hidden under the egg. The clear dashi is light with very nice yuzu fragrance. This is not sweet.
栗ぜんざい。
Kuri-zenzai: Chestnut, grilled mochi and red bean paste. Good!
抹茶ババロア。
Macha bavarois.
紀の善
いちごと抹茶の春パフェ、１２６０円。Strawberry and macha parfait. The macha ice-cream is super yummy!!
抹茶パフェ、１０５０円。Matcha parfait, the matcha jelly and matcha ice-cream are both so good! But there are some banana pieces inside the ice-cream which completely don’t match…at least there is no cornflakes!!
チャイナジャスミンパフェ、１０５０円。
This time I tried the Chinese Jasmine parfait. Only a small scoop of Jasmine ice-cream on top, mostly yogurt ice-cream at the bottom which is a bit watery. Though the cafe is opened until 10pm which is very handy when you want something sweet after dinner…
京はやしや
栗ぜんざい、７００円。小倉あんみつ、５７０円。
Kuri-zenzai – chestnut, shiratama(sticky rice balls), red bean, millet paste, and black honey at the bottom. Served hot. Quite nice though a bit sweet.
Anmitsu with red bean ice. This place is famous for being one of earliest to sell red bean ice-cream. A big pot of honey on the table for you to add to the anmitsu yourself.
