TOKIYA

TOKIYA is a Japanese sweets café located on the 1st floor of Shinjuku West Exit HALC, about a 1-minute walk from the West Exit of Shinjuku Station. It has been serving customers in Shinjuku since it opened in 1948. With table seating and the nostalgic atmosphere of a traditional sweets café, it offers dorayaki and other sweets as well as savory dishes.

Its signature product is dorayaki branded with the shop’s name. Four sizes are available: small, medium, large, and extra-large. The Medium Dorayaki is said to have inspired the dorayaki featured in a famous manga. Made in the traditional style, it consists of mildly sweet pancakes filled with chunky red bean paste produced at the company’s own factory. Dorayaki can be enjoyed in the café with matcha or purchased to go. The menu also includes sweets such as anmitsu, sweet red bean soup, and shaved ice, along with savory dishes such as ozoni rice cake soup.

Visitors can stop by for a break with Japanese sweets or purchase dorayaki to take home. This long-established shop near Shinjuku Station continues to share Japan’s traditional sweets and sweets café culture.
