Sensoji Temple Food Hunt 🍙 🔍: 5 Snacks You Can’t Miss

Exploring Sensoji Temple isn’t just a spiritual journey — it’s also a delicious one. The streets surrounding the temple are filled with iconic snacks that reflect the flavors of Asakusa. Here’s what I tried on my food hunt: 🌮 P1: Taco-Taco Asakusa (Koromo Brothers) – ¥600 A modern fusion twist in the middle of traditional Asakusa — flavorful meat wrapped in crispy nori and rice paper. Surprisingly good! 🍈 P2: Asakusa Kagetsudō Melon Pan – ¥600 Soft and fluffy on the inside, with a perfectly crisp crust. This melon pan is huge, and best enjoyed warm, right on the street. 🥩 P3: Asakusa Menchi – ¥350 A juicy minced meat cutlet with a crunchy fried crust. One bite and you’ll understand why there’s usually a line. 🍓 P4: 浅草苺座 (Asakusa Ichigoza) – ¥490 Fresh strawberries paired with mochi, red bean, or custard. Light, sweet, and picture-perfect for that Instagram moment. 🍡 P5: Kikuya Sensoji – ¥400 Traditional Japanese sweets done right. I grabbed a warm, chewy dango glazed with sweet soy sauce. Simple, classic, and so satisfying. ✨ Tips: 1. Go early to beat the crowds. 2. Bring cash — most stalls don’t accept cards. 3. Don’t rush — eat and explore slowly to enjoy the full experience. Sensoji offers more than just history — it’s a place where culture meets flavor, one bite at a time. 🍴 #cherryblossom25
