Mihashi First Avenue Tokyo Station Store
Handmade Anmitsu from Ueno Hirokoji’s Traditional Sweets Shop, Mihashi.
Mihashi is a traditional Japanese sweets shop founded in 1948 in front of Ueno Park. At its First Avenue Tokyo Station store, you can enjoy classic handmade desserts that bring out the flavors of their ingredients.
Anmitsu is the dessert at the heart of Mihashi’s menu. It brings together smooth sweet red bean paste, syrup, agar jelly, red peas, gyuhi (soft, chewy rice cakes), and mandarin oranges in a simple combination. The red bean paste is made with azuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido, slowly simmered in copper pots over direct heat. The most popular item, Cream Anmitsu, adds soft-serve ice cream to the classic dessert. Other options include anmitsu with shiratama (rice flour dumplings) and ozoni (mochi soup) made with broth from shaved dried tuna.
Wood-grain latticework and a Japanese-style sign distinguish the exterior. A glass display case at the front holds takeout items, while the interior includes a dine-in area. Enjoy traditional sweets in the shop, or take anmitsu with you as a treat for the journey or a gift.
