Parks

First, choose a filling for the Kinuta-yaki: chunky sweet bean paste or custard. The tanuki stamp makes these cakes easy to spot. Visitors describe a pleasantly chewy casing paired with gently sweet bean paste, or a creamy, milky custard. Some say they are a little smaller than the usual ōban-yaki, making one a handy snack during a walk through Kinuta Park. Enjoy one as a treat, or try both fillings.

Parks is a kiosk inside Kinuta Park. One visitor recalls enjoying Kinuta ice cream after cherry-blossom viewing, making it another option when you fancy something sweet. Takoyaki, curry and beer are also mentioned among the light bites. Whether you stop for Kinuta-yaki on a walk or take a break for something more substantial, the kiosk fits neatly into a day in the park.
