Fujimi-dō Headquarters

Anko Tenbei brings together savory, toasted rice crackers with smooth, melt-in-the-mouth red bean paste. Take a bite, and the rustic crunch of intact rice grains and a touch of salt hit first, closely followed by the elegant sweetness of sarashi-an made from Hokkaido azuki beans. The toasted aroma of the cracker and the silkiness of the bean paste complement each other, creating a sweet-and-savory balance that feels completely integrated rather than simply sugary and salty. It leaves a clean, satisfying finish that makes it easy to reach for another.

At Fujimi-dō's main shop in Aoto, Katsushika Ward, visitors arrive from morning specifically for this signature treat, purchasing it for an everyday snack as well as gifts for family and friends. Beyond individual packages, boxed assortments like Tokyo Biyori pair the specialty with other okaki crackers, making it simple to find an option suited to the recipient and gathering size. The flagship store also charms with everyday teahouse treats, including seasonal arare crackers and Kyūsuke, bags of assorted broken crackers that make relaxed, unpretentious tea accompaniments.

Because this is a compact shop tucked into a residential neighborhood, the flagship Anko Tenbei can sell out early in the day, though reserving in advance ensures a smooth pickup. It is a handy destination both for stocking up on casual teatime bites and for choosing thoughtful Tokyo souvenirs with old-town character in a relaxed setting.
