Tokyo is a paradise for dessert lovers, and its sweet offerings are as creative as they are delicious. Here are five treats you absolutely have to try:

1. Taiyaki from Naniwaya Sohonten
This iconic fish-shaped pastry is stuffed with red bean paste or custard. Naniwaya Sohonten in Azabu-Juban has been perfecting this treat since 1909!

2. Matcha Parfait from Saryo Tsujiri
Located in Ginza, this dessert spot serves matcha parfaits layered with green tea jelly, red beans, and soft-serve ice cream. It’s a must for matcha fans.

3. Fluffy Pancakes from A Happy Pancake
These cloud-like pancakes are as light as air and topped with everything from caramel butter to seasonal fruits. Head to their Omotesando location for a sweet escape.

4. Harajuku Crepes
No trip to Takeshita Street is complete without trying one of the iconic crepes stuffed with cream, fruit, and even slices of cake. Try Angels Heart for a classic experience.

5. Kakigori from Sebastian
This isn’t your average shaved ice. Sebastian in Shibuya serves kakigori with a modern twist—think tiramisu and strawberry shortcake flavors that are almost too pretty to eat.

Tokyo’s dessert scene is as diverse as its neighborhoods, and each bite is a little adventure in itself. Which one will you try first?
