The Naritasan Omotesando approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple has been bustling with activity since ancient times. Walking along the historic streets, you will find many attractive stores that will make you want to stop and take a look.
This time, we would like to introduce four exquisite sweets with a “Japanese” theme that you can find in Omotesando. Why not enjoy these easy-to-navigate sweets after visiting a shrine or in between sightseeing?
[YAMANOAKARI] Kraft cream pie with an addictive crunchy texture.
First, we would like to introduce “YAMANOAKARI,” with its modern and stylish exterior that catches the eye. Located near the main gate of Shinshoji Temple, Yamanoakari offers craft cream pies made with crispy pie crust.
The pie crust is filled with thick, rich custard cheese cream. It also contains sweet potato cookies and brown sugar peanuts.
Although they are the size of the palm of your hand, they are satisfying and perfect for when you are feeling a little hungry. Seasonal flavors are also available, so each time you visit, you will be able to enjoy a different flavor.
[Matcha Sweets Sawawa Narita Store] Take a break with green tea ice cream
Next is “Sawawa,” a specialty store for matcha lovers. The most popular item here is “Koicha (Thick Matcha) ice cream,” which maximizes the flavor of matcha green tea.
One bite will fill your mouth with the rich “dark ”matcha flavor that lives up to its name. The balance of bitterness and sweetness is exquisite, and the taste is not too sweet for adults.
The matcha-colored soft-serve ice cream object in the storefront is a landmark. There are also various matcha sweets in the store, so please take a look at them as well.

[Gomafukudo Narita Store] The aroma is irresistible! Golden sesame milk ice cream
Gomafukudo, a sesame sweets specialty store, offers a different kind of Japanese ice cream. We recommend the “Golden Sesame Milk Ice Cream.
The rich milk ice cream is filled with the flavor of fragrant golden sesame, and the aroma of sesame fills your mouth the moment you take a bite.
The store also has sesame-based sweets and soup ingredients, making it a great place to look for souvenirs! In addition to sweets, we also recommend the golden sesame curry buns and croquettes.

[Narita Tea House Tabanenoshi] Only available here! Kakegawa green tea tiramisu (Japanese crepe)
Lastly, we would like to introduce a special sweet that is only available at the Narita branch. At Narita Tea House Tabanenoshi, you can enjoy Japanese crepes that are only available here.
The tea used is matcha green tea produced in Kakegawa, Shizuoka. It is sprinkled abundantly, and the words “Naritasan” (Narita) appear on the top. It is not too sweet and can be eaten easily.
It is also a high point to enjoy it with one hand while walking along the approach to the temple!
Naritasan Omotesando offers a wide variety of truly delicious Japanese sweets that are more than just a “reflection.
Please enjoy the sweet time to heal your mind and body while strolling through the elegant townscape!
