honey toast
The masters of matcha ice cream treats mix traditional anmitsu toppings with one of modern Japan’s favorite desserts.
This part of Japan is often overlooked by foodies, but ironically it’s hard to see over these towering desserts.
Even if you can’t make it out to the Izu Shaboten Zoo in Shizuoka Prefecture, you can still see a capybara take a bath at karaoke joints across Tokyo thanks to Pasela, a chain of high-class karaoke parlors. When it comes down to it, their “Capybara-san Honey Toast” is basically just an entire loaf of bread with some sugary toppings, but that cute little capybara face might inspire you to get one for the shear cuteness of it all.
