Amano-Ya(天野屋)

We're back! 
We totally get that we've been lacking on blog posts the past couple of weeks.. I've been settling into my new classes at university and Daniel's been super busy getting himself into activities and such for September! Of course excuses are for losers- so we'll stop there.

Kanda Myoujin (shrine) symbolizes the authentic beauty and culture of Japan. It's a sweet getaway for small prayers in the middle of a bustling city with modern technology, and of course, a bite to eat.  

If this isn't serenity, then what is?
Kuzu Mochi

450 yen
 So. Good. This is truly a Japanese dessert/tea time snack that you have to have if you're here. It's healthy and naturally sweet. The brown powder you see is called 'Kinako', and it's a roasted soybean powder commonly used in sweets in Japan. It's better when drenched with 'mitsu', the brown sugar syrup.  -Mari

Mix Mochi (Nori Mochi left, Kinako Mochi right)

650 yen
The mix mochi plate was the dish that made this snack break perfect. The nori mochi was really simple, but it was delicious. The kinako mochi was perfect in every way possible. The roasted soybean powder coated the warm, soft, chewy mochi impeccably and gave it the most divine taste. - Daniel

Snack times are the best times
OVERALL
Amano-Ya is always a great place to stop for a snack. The interior is decorated with a variety of interesting antiques from Japan and has a very cozy, relaxing atmosphere. One wall also opens up to their garden, which is therapeutic to just look at and escape to from the city life. - Daniel
