Yanaka Shippoya
×Cat-Tail (baked doughnut)
Why you must eat itA stick-shaped baked doughnut made to look like a cat's tail. Yanaka is a "cat town," and the shop's sign rides on it. Beyond plain there are kinako, black sesame, chocolate and more — patterns and flavours you enjoy choosing. Held in one hand as you walk, a plain shitamachi sweetness.
A baked-doughnut shop on Yanaka Ginza, one of the souvenirs that symbolise cat-town Yanaka. The tails' patterns and flavours rotate with the season, popular with cat lovers and tourists. Being baked it is easy to eat while walking and keeps a little, so it travels too.
