Minamoto Kitchoan
 

One of my most favorite places to visit here in NYC is Minamoto Kitchoan - this Japanese wagashi store across the street from Rockefeller Center (next to where Kinokuniya's original store used to be).

Anyone one ever visit and have any good recommendations on which wagashi to try?

- Nishi

I like every wagashi:D
I don't know names of wagashi...so I can't recommend particular one.
But let's try:vsign:

Dorayaki
 

I love Dorayaki! :)

Same!!! I like dorayaki, too:)

I googled "wagashi", and I'm reminded of some.

The attracting wagashi I want to eat now is mizuyokan.

I wanted to past a picture.. but I pasted a link..
This is the picture the link indicates.

What kind of stuff do they sell there?

I don't know the shop, but found it sells wagashi.

Wagashi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kunitokotachi,

they sell every type of wagashi you can think of - both individually and as pre-wrapped gift sets - they also have a small seating area in the back where you can enjoy your gourmey Japanese pastries. They also sell a few adorable goods.

Prices range from $1.50 to $4.00 for individual pastries - perfect for when you want a little dessert. Many of the desserts contain red-brean cake or white-bean cake and some contain mochi.

It's definitely worth visiting. Go to 49th Street off of 5th Avenue - you'll find it a little way past the Lacoste store.

- Nishi

Anyway when you eat mitarashidango you gotta stay one place cos the syrup is dangerous(???).........(I don't know what is the proper word to explain it^_^)

[edit]
(i'll send you pm.)

yoy mame, can't pm you.:D

i dont mean to change the subject, but did you say where the Kinokuniya store USED to be? what happened

on topic, i found that place 2 years ago when i last went to New York, that area is my favorite place visit, the Nintendo World store is right there too

Kino's moved now across from Bryant Park - 41st & 6th Avenue - it's much bigger with 3 levels and Cafe Zaiya is HUGE in the back of the upper level - great place to eat and read manga :)
