■My recommendation local food

< Tsujiri >

If you come around here, please go to Kanmi-dokoro "Tsujiri". "Kanmi-dokoro" is meaning Japanese sweets' parlor.

And, "Tsujiri" was started up 40 years ago by the well-established tea maker "Gion-Tsujiri" Company (1860 : Established).

Long ago, it seems that this place was a tea dojo,but please rest assured that it is an ordinary sweets' parlor now haha. The recommendation here is green tea parfait!

Enjoy a rich green tea sweet by a tea maker with over 150 years of history! By the way, the shops here are pretty and have a nice view with a view over Ginza.

Have a nice trip!(^^)
