“Asakusa Baien” was built in 1854, and it is named after its founded location, a branch of Senso-ji Temple called Baien.

The balance of the bitter taste of mochi and the sweetness of red beans perfectly matches each other and the taste has never changed since they founded the cafe.

In addition, Anmitsu and Mamekan are also best selling.

The reason why they are popular is because they do not taste too sweet.

Even the author Kafu Nagai described how popular Baien was in his book titled “Odoriko”. You can see the thrive of the cafe at that time.
This is the beloved cafe by trendy people in Asakusa all the time.
