Suzukake at Azabudai Hills: Strawberry Mochi, Dorayaki & Monaka Menu Guide (2026)

Here's a rundown of prices and menu items at Suzukake's Azabudai Hills location — strawberry mochi, monaka, and dorayaki included. Suzukake is a 100-year-old wagashi brand from Fukuoka, and this guide covers its popular items and gift recommendations.

About Suzukake

Suzukake (鈴懸) is a wagashi shop that started in Fukuoka in 1923. It's known for handmade wagashi crafted daily by artisans, using carefully selected ingredients and traditional techniques passed down over the decades.

Currently, shops are only found in a handful of locations — the Fukuoka main store, Hakata Station, Isetan Shinjuku, Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, and Azabudai Hills. The Azabudai Hills location opened with the complex in 2023 and has a spacious layout where you can take your time browsing the selection.

What draws the most attention here is the strawberry mochi — a whole strawberry wrapped in mochi. It's a signature seasonal item that's gone viral on social media and sells in limited quantities each day.

Suzukake Menu Prices & Shelf Life (March 2026)

Here are the prices and shelf life details for reference when choosing wagashi. If you're buying gifts, we recommend items that keep at room temperature with a longer shelf life.

※ Menu items and prices may change depending on the season and ingredient availability. Mochi items are best consumed the same day — enjoy them on the spot rather than as souvenirs!

🍓 Ichigo Daifuku (苺大福 / Strawberry Mochi)

This is the signature limited-edition item that put Suzukake on the map as a go-to for strawberry mochi in Tokyo. A whole fresh Amaou strawberry from Fukuoka is wrapped in smooth red bean paste, then encased in delicate gyuhi (求肥) — a soft mochi made from finely ground glutinous rice flour and sugar. The light, supple texture of the gyuhi pairs perfectly with the tangy juice of the strawberry.

📌 Strawberry mochi season: November 21, 2025 – early April 2026

🌿 Yomogi no Anmochi (蓬の餡餅 / Mugwort Red Bean Mochi)

A seasonal wagashi available in February and March to herald the coming spring. Freshly pounded Hikotaro glutinous rice is kneaded with plenty of fragrant mugwort (yomogi). The mochi is generously filled with chunky tsubuan red bean paste. One bite fills your mouth with the slightly bitter aroma of mugwort and a gentle sweetness.

🥞 Suzunoen Mochi (鈴乃〇餅 / Mini Dorayaki)

A mini-sized dorayaki made with premium Hiyoku Mochi glutinous rice flour from Saga Prefecture, with each wrapper hand-grilled one by one by artisans. Between the two chewy wrappers sits a special anko filling with whole Hokkaido azuki beans still intact, with a rich sweetness that builds as you chew.

🔔 Suzuno Monaka (鈴乃最中 / Bell-Shaped Monaka)

This monaka features a crispy, fragrant shell baked exclusively from Kogane Mochi glutinous rice from Niigata Prefecture. The adorable bell-shaped shell is packed with a rich chunky red bean paste made with the brand's decades of know-how. Bite-sized and perfect alongside tea or coffee.

🌙 Sogetsu (草月 / Half-Moon Dorayaki)

A half-moon shaped dorayaki with a moist, chewy wrapper made with added glutinous rice flour, filled with chunky red bean paste. It has a crowd-pleasing, mild flavor that everyone enjoys. Since it keeps for a full 14 days at room temperature, this is the best gift option when shopping for wagashi at Azabudai Hills — ideal for bringing home to share with friends and family.

☁️ Tororo (心葉 / Yam Red Bean Manju)

A premium manju made with generous amounts of grated yam from Kagoshima, giving it a light, cloud-like, moist texture. Inside the soft outer shell is a smooth koshian red bean paste (peeled and finely pureed). It dissolves gently on the tongue, leaving a subtle sweetness and a clean finish.
