Kyo Tsukimachian West

This shop specializes in an unusual pastry called "Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” "Anesu" is based on the sound of a Portuguese word for baked sweets. It is actually a word that has been used for a long time in Japan, although not many people are familiar with it. The ingredients are flour, sugar, and eggs. The surface is baked to a smooth firmness, and the face of Daruma (a Buddhist saint) and the word "fuku," meaning "good luck," are branded on it. Hence, “Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” The texture is crispy, like a Japanese "bolo" cookie, which also happens to be derived from a Portuguese pastry.
