a neighborhood between shiba koen and roppongi, an area called azabu juban (麻布十番). since you read chinese the name azabu actually means "cotton textile", what a weird name. right at this area, there are numerous specialty shops and a very vibrant local community atmosphere. the community are mainly made up by expatriates and local japanese.
you came across a few wagashi stores and decided to walk in to kibundou (紀文堂) to pick up a few wagashi 人形焼 - ningyoyaki. from the kanji it basically means "human shape pancake".
the ones on sales here are not in any human shape but a modern twist pancake skin with A.Z.A.B.U.J.U.B.A.N imprint. it comes with a few different flavours, and you only picked up two.
one with chocolate flavor custard. it's really delicious, light and not too sweet for you, a great snack to satisfy sweet tooth or in this case a reward for an extended long walk.
the letter imprints on the pancake skin
and the one with vanilla custard flavor.
you finished both in no time, simply because you were hungry but most importantly they are super yummy, you are thinking of more excuse to go back for more!!
