Asakusa Nakamise is a shopping center that stretches from the Kaminarimon Gate to the Hozomon Gate of the Sensoji Temple. The street is lined with a variety of shops selling all types of wares and food. We stopped at Asakusa Kokonoe to try the famous deep-fried manju.
I am not a fan of manju at all, but I just had to try!
I opted for the Sakura manju (of course!). I liked the crispy, outer layer, but the sakura filling was just not to my liking. I liked the pumpkin one a lot better.
