KAGETSUDO Main Store

Asakusa Kagetsudo Main Store is one of Asakusa’s most famous and beloved shops, best known for its signature Jumbo Melon Pan. The bread is crisp and fragrant on the outside, while soft and airy on the inside—so popular that long lines form daily. Its gentle sweetness and nostalgic flavor come from a unique long-fermentation method that brings out a rich, deep aroma.

When fresh batches come out of the oven, a sweet scent fills the street, naturally drawing in visitors during their Asakusa stroll. The main store is located along Asakusa Nishi-sandō Shopping Street, which leads toward Sensō-ji Temple, blending perfectly with the lively, traditional Edo-style atmosphere of the area. Loved not only by tourists but also by locals, Kagetsudo has long been a favorite in the neighborhood.

In addition to melon pan, the shop also offers soft-serve ice cream and shaved ice during the summer season. Full of classic downtown warmth and artisan craftsmanship, Asakusa Kagetsudo Main Store is a must-visit when talking about Asakusa’s food culture.
