I purchased it two weeks ago, but I revisited the restaurant because I wanted to eat it freshly made. This time, I bought a unique fried monjayaki and ate it on the spot. As expected, the freshly made dish was piping hot. The monjayaki flavor is enhanced by the red pickled ginger, resulting in a deliciously fragrant dish. It's also tasty when it cools down, but the flavor doubles when it's hot. Thank you for the meal.

A must-try in Asakusa for food hopping! If you're looking for fried manju, this is the place to go! The red bean paste is simple, not too sweet, and delicious! They have various flavors, so you can try different ones! It's convenient being right in front of Senso-ji Temple! I always end up stopping by here on Nakamise Street!

I arrived at Sensoji Temple. Well, from the Kaminarimon gate, there were crowds and crowds of people... It really feels like a festival. Most of the people in traditional Japanese clothing are foreigners, and there are even people wearing formal kimono despite the heat, they might get heatstroke. Well, it's good to see people back. I bought one with my daughter. She got matcha, and I got black sesame. It has cooled down, but the savory flavor of sesame and the chewiness of the dumplings are delicious. It's convenient to eat as well. Thank you for the meal.

natu and I tried the second version of agemanju in Tokyo, this time with a savory flavor. The outside was crispy, and it had a good balance of sweetness and saltiness with pickled ginger. The taste of monjayaki was just right, not too salty or spicy.

When you come to Asakusa, you must try agemanju, so I did. The display case full of agemanju gives off a sense of a specialty. Today, I was a little hungry, so I bought a monja and sesame. Speaking of Asakusa, it's all about monja. The fluffy nori-infused agemanju had a strong monja flavor. The sesame one was like a traditional sesame dumpling. As a fan of sesame dumplings, it was good! Thank you for the meal!

On Sunday, even though the weather was nice, I decided to go out to Asakusa after watching a food review video on YouTube. However, I soon regretted it as there were so many people, especially foreign tourists. It was crowded and bustling. I decided to just do some food tasting instead. I tried the "monja cheese" for 240 yen and the pumpkin for 240 yen. They were both small but tasty. The "monja cheese" was a bit oily but left a nice aftertaste. The pumpkin was very sweet. Overall, it was a good experience for food tasting, but make sure to bring a bottle of water with you when doing food tours.

Popular shop selling fried manju on Nakamise Street in Asakusa. After lunch, I had some room in my stomach so I came to buy some. They have quite a variety of flavors. I purchased the following: - Smooth red bean paste (160 yen) - Monja (230 yen) Since eating while walking is not allowed on Nakamise Street, I had to find a place to sit and eat. The smooth red bean paste flavor is probably the most basic. It was very delicious, crispy right out of the fryer. The Monja was just okay. The dough was cold and soggy. The filling inside was also cold and tasted like a savory bread roll. I bet it would be really tasty if it was fresh out of the fryer. Maybe it depends on the timing to get it piping hot. Thank you for the meal.

It seems like there are a lot more foreigners in Asakusa now. Nakamise Street was very crowded on Sunday. By 3 o'clock, I was starting to get a little hungry. I bought some ningyoyaki for home, but what I really wanted to eat was fried manju. I purchased a sweet potato fried manju for 200 yen at Kugen-san and ate it while walking. I don't usually eat fried manju, but eating it this way, I thought it was surprisingly delicious as I walked along Hanayashiki Street.

I was able to come back after 5 years since I was impressed when I ate it on a school trip! There were many delicious options, but I chose the sesame fried manju. It had red bean paste inside and sesame seeds in the crispy coating! They also had unique options like monja and strawberry, all of which looked delicious. Despite being fried, it wasn't heavy and had a refreshing taste, so I could easily finish it in no time. If you visit Asakusa, I highly recommend trying it out!

This time, I want to talk about "Agemanju" (deep-fried bun) at a place called "Kokonoe," which I remember used to be located on a back street. Somehow, it has now appeared on the shopping street near the shrine. There are various shops lining the street, and when I feel a little hungry and want to buy something to eat, I always prefer "Kokonoe" over senbei or popular baked goods. I love the crispy fried dough with piping hot sweet bean paste inside, and sometimes I just crave it. I haven't been able to come to Asakusa often lately, so the nostalgia added to the enjoyment of eating it. It was so delicious that I wanted to have another one. That's all about my experience with "Agemanju."

During the first three days of the new year, there were restrictions on traffic at Senso-ji Temple, and the huge crowd of people made me feel a bit overwhelmed in front of the Kaminarimon Gate. I decided to take a walk around the Tsukuba Express area and planned to come back on the 5th to try again. Even though there were still people around, I was grateful just to be able to walk normally. After finishing my visit, I bought some good luck charms and drew a fortune at Kujukuri-san, a place I usually pass by. I also bought some sesame fried manju, which was my first time trying fried manju. When I took a bite, the surface tasted like sugar crystals, then I encountered the soft manju, and finally reached the sweet red bean paste at the center. It was quite amazing. A whole world was packed into this small manju. I felt proud to show this Japanese sweet to foreign tourists as a representation of Japanese sweets. I might be a bit overexcited, but that's just because I'm in a good mood.

Around 11:20 pm on New Year's Eve. It was not as crowded as usual, but there were many foreigners. I decided to try the fried manju that I had been curious about. While others were still deciding on their order, I quickly purchased it. - Fried Manju 160 yen It was handed to me in a plastic bag. It was not freshly fried, so there was no risk of burning. The inside was filled with sweet bean paste, and it was to my liking. Asakusa has a lot of delicious food options, so it might be worth stopping by when you have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

On New Year's Eve morning, I strolled around Asakusa♪ In the bustling Nakamise street, I stumbled upon a fried manju shop. Yay! I got a chocolate manju for ¥390 using Rakuten Pay. The taste was as expected, delicious but also gave me heartburn as expected. I hesitated to call out to the staff because the previous customer's interaction was not finished yet. My sister bluntly said, "Not yet!" The staff's clear communication style was quite Edo-style service. Well, I guess that's part of the charm. Thank you for the meal.

I bought these along with my visit to Asakusa Temple: - Agemanju (fried bun) - Sakura (cherry blossom) - Monja Total: 620 yen I consciously chose a standard item (Agemanju), something a little different (Sakura), and something quite unique (Monja). The Agemanju was freshly made with a crispy outer layer, giving it a unique texture. The Sakura had cherry blossom mochi inside, with a distinct salty flavor from the leaf. The Monja tasted similar to takoyaki, with a texture that was also quite similar. Overall, my favorite was the standard Agemanju.

The sesame seed manju deep-fried is quite famous locally, but how did it turn out? I tried it, and the taste was just okay. Everyone was lining up at the store, but there wasn't much of a reaction. I'm sorry. Kunoe is the best in the world~ Thank you for the meal♪ Namu Amida Butsu♪ Amen♪

A shop near the Hozomon Gate of Sensoji Temple that sells various types of agemanju (deep-fried buns). The one I tried was the Agemanju with Chocolate filling for 230 yen. The outer layer had chocolate powder mixed in and was fried crispy. Inside, there was a chocolate paste filling. It was not as sweet as I expected, so I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping for a gooey chocolate center. If you have a sweet tooth, you might want to try a different flavor like the Agemanju with Sweet Potato or Custard Cream.

I went food tasting in Asakusa Nakamise. There was always a long line. I waited for the line to die down before ordering. It was my first time trying deep-fried manju, so I went with the most traditional red bean paste filling. The outer crust was crispy without being greasy, and the inside was warm and delicious.

I had something sweet before coming here, so I felt like eating something salty and ordered the monjayaki flavor. The size was small and easy to eat, just right. With this size, I feel like trying other flavors too. It's enjoyable to taste a variety of flavors, so I'm looking forward to coming back next time. This famous agemanju shop is always bustling.

I received some deep-fried manju as a souvenir. It was from a famous shop, so I was excited. I found out that they cost 160 yen each, which is quite reasonable. I warmed them up in the microwave and then finished them off in the toaster. I had assumed manju was made with rice cake, but it was actually made with wheat flour. The crispy coating and the gentle taste of the sweet bean paste inside were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

■Order: Agemanju (Deep-fried bun with red bean paste) for 160 yen A deep-fried snack made with red bean paste inside a bun, giving it a unique flavor and a crispy texture. It's delicious. There were about 10 different types of red bean paste flavors available such as matcha, custard, chocolate, sesame, and more. I chose the standard one without hesitation as I love the regular red bean paste flavor. ■Miscellaneous: A shop selling deep-fried buns near Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, close to Nakamise Street.
