Hyperlocal Tokyo

My senior coworker at my part-time job quit, and as a thank you, they gave me a box of senbei (rice crackers). They were absolutely delicious! I've always loved Mochigose, so this was perfect. I'll definitely stop by and buy some whenever I'm in the area.

They have a wide variety of products, and sometimes items that are out of stock online are available in store. You can get free water on Saturdays. On days ending in 9, broken rice crackers are sold at a discount. Joining the point card costs 100 yen, but you get a gift worth over 100 yen when you join. If you're a rice cracker lover, I think it's worth visiting.

I found this confectionery shop while strolling from Ginza to Tsukiji. It's a great place to buy souvenirs. The reviews say it's like a shop from Kyushu! The store is clean and I bought a few things. They were affordable and delicious! 👍 Please give it a like! 🙏

I visited Mochigoro Tokyo Ginza Main Store! ♪ It's the place to go when you want to buy rice crackers as souvenirs. ♪ There's a wide variety of products, so it's fun to browse! ♪ The packaging for the vegetable crackers was so vibrant that I couldn't help but take a picture. ♪

I had been curious about "Inari Age Mochi" after seeing their TV commercial, and a friend from Fukuoka told me that "Mochigi is a famous rice cracker shop in Fukuoka." So I went there. Although it's called the Ginza Main Store, it's actually located in Tsukiji, which I thought was a bit off. I think it would be better to call it the Tokyo Main Store at least. The variety of rice crackers was impressive and fun to look at. I bought a few to take home, and they were delicious, with a slightly sweet flavor that I think was due to the soy sauce from Kyushu. The texture was interesting, like a chewy, gummy candy. The "Inari Age Mochi" from the TV commercial was disappointing. It came with separately packaged deep-fried tofu seasoned with sweet sauce and mochi slices. You have to put the mochi slices into the fried tofu yourself and heat it in the microwave. The taste was no different from the fried tofu you find in supermarkets. It's not much different from buying the same ingredients at a supermarket, and it's quite expensive (the package in the photo costs a little over 350 yen). This significantly lowered my rating.
