It is said that haiku poet Teijo Nakamura enjoyed Kafu’s sweets with visitors
Classic handmade anko (bean paste) with a long history
This Japanese shop focuses on handmade sweets, limiting their production only to what will be sold on a given day. The homemade, slightly less sweet anko is famously elegant. Koshian is made by peeling and boiling high-grade azuki beans from Hokkaido, while Tsubuan is made with higher quality dainagon beans and white bean paste, which is less common in Tokyo.
Popular daifuku mochi and chestnut yokan
Bean daifuku (220 yen), a favorite of famous actor and singer Yujiro Ishihara, is a gem that is often sold out by afternoon. The limited production chestnut yokan (1,600 yen for large, 800 yen for small) is very popular. A saying among the staff goes, “the number turned away is greater than the number sold.” Monaka made with the dainagon beans (150 yen) is the most popular item. We receive many inquiries from far away.

The owner is active promoting the appeal of Japanese wagashi not only locally but also outside.

I am the third-generation owner of this restaurant that my grandfather opened in 1955. Over 80 percent of our customers are regulars, with some continuing their grandparents’ dining tradition. Until ten years ago, we had employed cooks from China, but now, our Japanese cook takes great care to craft each dish one at a time. Our menu is child-friendly.
Okadaya flavor has come down through the generations
Classic dumplings are made without using garlic. The former owner has since left the kitchen but comes in regularly to taste for consistency. The thick, delicious wrappings are specially ordered from the factory. Dumplings are 400 yen for a five-piece order.

We carefully season our items so that you can enjoy them every day. Several dishes use fewer spices that are easy on the palate. Some of our trendier items such as sour hot noodles add spice to your day.

If you can tell the image of the taste, such as “Sake of this taste that you drank at that izakaya” or “I want to drink sake with a sweet and clean mouth,” we will propose the perfect sake. We sell with the desire to deliver really delicious sake to our customers.
Popular “Binkago” 2000 yen made by owner
