TOKYO GUIDE| KIMURA NINGYOYAKI AT ASAKUSA SENSOJI TEMPLE
Ningyoyaki, or literally baked dolls are a famous sweet snack from Asakusa in Tokyo. They are basically small cakes filled with red beans in different shapes. There are many shops that sell Ningyoyaki at the Nakamise Shopping Street that lead up to the famous Sensoji Temple. Among them is the shop Kimura, founded in 1868 and also the founder of the Ningyoyaki. They were originally in the shapes of Shichifukujin or the Seven Lucky Gods. So, you can imagine if there was instagram back then, it would have been a big hit on social media!
