Nisshodo Candy Store

Mochi (Japanese rice cake) is so essential to locals’ lives that even the drugstores sell it. But for the freshest and widest variety, go straight to the source: Nisshodo, an almost century-old business. Choose among pink-and-white chichi dango (or milk mochi), mochi filled with smooth azuki bean, monaka (delicate rice wafers sandwiching sweetened lima-bean paste), and much more.
