Many visitors to Japan from the West are cautious of Japanese sweets with the idea that beans shouldn't be sweet (like the red azuki bean, used in most Japanese sweets), but you shouldn't knock it before you try it! Even still, there are matcha and mochi varieties of sweets as well, so surely something for everyone! Aside from traditional sweets in Suginami, Tokyo, there are a good deal of bakeries that offer fresh bread and pastries as well.
