Funabashiya Ekyutoakabaneten

Layered with fragrant kinako roasted soybean flour and rich, glossy kuromitsu dark sugar syrup, Funabashiya's kuzumochi has long been deeply favored as both an everyday confection and a comforting gift. Generously coating the delightfully clean, unique chew of the kuzumochi in rich syrup and nutty flour makes it a natural companion to an unhurried cup of tea.

Alongside the standard kuzumochi boxes, the counter showcases anmitsu garnished with bite-sized kuzumochi, shiratama anmitsu with chewy rice dumplings, and seasonal selections such as the colorful ohanami anmitsu. Packaged in practical cups for convenient takeaway, the anmitsu offers an authentic, satisfying dessert once the dark syrup is drizzled over the refreshing agar jelly and sweet bean paste.

Positioned inside the ticket gates of JR Akabane Station within the ecute Akabane complex, the shop offers an easy stop while changing trains or heading home from work without passing through the exit turnstiles. Because many kuzumochi and anmitsu items have comparatively short shelf lives, they are best chosen for enjoyment at home that day or as a quick gift to be presented by the next. Support for credit cards and NFC mobile payments keeps transactions quick, allowing travelers to pick up a parcel smoothly even during a tight connection.
