富士吉田金精軒 富士茶庵

The world-famous Mizushingen Mochi originating store! A traditional wagashi shop from Yamanashi 🍡

It became a worldwide sensation online about 7.8 years ago.
This dreamy dessert, which you would originally need to travel to a distant mountainous area to enjoy, can actually be found right next to Lake Kawaguchi in Fujiyoshida!
And it’s the official branch of the shop that created this dessert, KanSeiKen!

It is sold only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from June to September each year.
On days with good weather, this location offers a direct view of the vast Mount Fuji 🗻.
Additionally, the indoor seating area on the second floor opens only after 10 AM, and the seats there are very comfortable while offering a view of Mount Fuji!

I must mention that from 7 to 9 AM, there’s a hidden breakfast rice ball set available on the second floor. I couldn’t try it this time, so I couldn’t share it with the Fooday camera, but I highly recommend everyone to try it 🍙.

The Mizushingen Mochi is incredibly transparent and super smooth, it feels like you’re eating water (?). Each piece is ¥660, so if you get the chance, definitely give it a try!
