Among them, there is a great variety of Japanese and Western confectionery for souvenirs, and you can find unique Tokyo gems from long-established and popular shops with their head offices in Tokyo.

■Popular souvenirs in Hoppe Town

In Hoppe Town, you can purchase a variety of confectionary such as Japanese and Western sweets.

Here are the three items that are particularly popular among the Japanese customers.

Komagome Nakazato 'Assortment (4 deep-fried monaka, 2 nanban-yaki)' (¥1,340)

The crispy ”Age-monaka", fried in sesame oil has a texture and taste that overturns the concept of monaka. The "Nanban-yaki" is also a popular item of which the dough, made with brown sugar is steam fried.

※Because the Age-monaka is hand-made by a limited number of workers, we are currently experiencing a shortage. Therefore, for the time being, we have set a purchase limit of up to 12 tickets per person.

N.Y.C.SAND 'N.Y. Caramel Sandwich' (8 pieces) (¥1,296)

Simmered caramel sandwiched between crispy butter cookies. This is a popular sweet that has people lining up for it every day.

Message de Rose 'TOKYO corn fleurie' (5 pieces) (JPY 1,728)

Rose gift chocolates that are semi-handmade and carefully crafted one by one. The chocolates that look like bouquets are sure to be pleasing as souvenirs and gifts.

■It is an item that is especially popular among overseas tourists

We talked to the person in charge of the sweets department and they told us which items that are especially often purchased by the overseas tourists.

Ginza Akebono 'Shiratama Mame Daifuku' (6 pieces) (1,488 yen)

The mame daifuku which uses shiratama flour in the making process has the right amount of softness and a chewy texture as its characteristic.

Kano Shoujuan 'Amo KARUTA' (2,592 yen)

It is a sweet made by sandwiching "amo", which is the combination between adzuki beans and gyuhi, in a monaka with a picture of Hyakunin Isshu. The appearance is also very gorgeous as Japanese product.
