Osamura

Several diners have remarked on the clear, golden hue of the mitarashi dango sauce, rather than its soy-sauce flavour. The sauce coats the small dumplings well, and some found it delicately flavoured and not too sweet. They are an easy choice when you want to try a few bite-sized sweets, or to take home alongside ohagi.

Ohagi come in flavours including kinako, sesame and aonori, as well as chunky or smooth sweet bean paste, offering plenty of ways to vary your selection. Some diners have reported a pleasantly distinct texture from the rice grains, while others enjoyed the nostalgic flavour of kinako ohagi or the restrained sweetness of the bean paste. One review suggested chunky bean paste for a more substantial bite and smooth paste for its silky finish, so you can choose according to your preference.

Warabi mochi and Abekawa mochi are other options. One diner said the Abekawa mochi was still soft the following morning, while another recommended the warabi mochi. They make a welcome alternative to dango and ohagi if you fancy a different kind of mochi sweet. Reviews describe customers choosing their sweets at the counter to take away; one also noted that there is no parking. Payment is cash only.
