Baikatei, A Sweet for All Seasons 梅花亭、四季の和菓子
Baikatei: A Sweet for All Seasons
Up for a bit of time travel in Tokyo? Step onto the hallowed grounds of one of the two Baikatei sweetshops in the Kagurazaka district. From the architecture, to the artisans and sellers of the wagashi sweets, the stores are steeped in tradition. There is also a sense of pride generously sprinkled with gracious humility.
