Nakamise-dori, the pedestrian walkway before the Asakusa Kannon Temple offered many traditional and untraditional snacks, including these deep-fried manju or red bean cakes coated in flavored batter, such as sesame, green tea and Japanese apricot. For a 100 yen (about 90 cents), I got a hot age manju, fresh from the fryer, with a cup of cold matcha green tea.
