It is Nihonbashi Yachobei's "Seasonally-limited" goldfish scooping" on the opposite side of the new building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store facing Chuo-dori 1-chome, Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Even though not as modern times, the summer of the Edo period without air conditioning should have been hot, and goldfish, wind chimes, morning glory, etc. were indispensable for the people of Edo to feel cool with sight and hearing.

The fact that these sweets are sold here in Nihonbashi is also very interesting.

I bought 3 pieces. It was cooled and delicious.

I'm glad I was born to Japanese people with cool eyes and refreshing tongues.
