Takagiya Rouho 高木屋老舗

Shibamatas best-known kusa-dango shop since the Meiji era, where the Tora-san cast took breaks during filming; eat fresh mugwort dumplings with sweet bean paste in the old tatami tea room.

About

Founded in the early Meiji period on the Taishakuten sando, Takagiya Rouho is the shop everyone associates with Shibamatas signature sweet: kusa-dango, soft rice dumplings kneaded with fragrant yomogi (mugwort) and topped with smooth bean paste. The shop served as a rest stop for actor Kiyoshi Atsumi and the Otoko wa Tsurai yo crew, and photos and signed boards line the walls. You can buy boxes to take away from the shop front, or sit in the old tea room on both sides of the street for dango with green tea or seasonal sweets. Its simple, inexpensive and the definitive taste of Shibamata.

Highlights

• Hand-made yomogi kusa-dango with smooth anko
• Old tea rooms with Tora-san filming photos
• Takeaway boxes for picnics
• Seasonal sweets like mitarashi dango

Tips

• Eat in for freshly made dango with tea; takeaway dango is best the same day.
• Weekend afternoons get crowded; mornings are calmer.
• The tea room closes earlier than the shop front.
