This is the greatest place near Jishoin Temple. The cute staff demonstrates a high level of quality at this restaurant. Downscale service is something that visitors would like to improve here. Google users haven't given Anbataya a high rating.

Securing the Viral An Butter Bun at Anbataya Shinjuku In the world of high-impact Japanese snacks, Okada Kinsei Anbataya (岡田謹製あんバタ屋) at EATo LUMINE Shinjuku is currently the definitive "IT" spot for pastry enthusiasts. As an editor, I’m always tracking products with high "scarcity value," and this tiny kiosk inside the Shinjuku Station ticket gates is the perfect example of why timing is everything in Tokyo. The Acquisition: Why You Must Arrive Early This is not a "swing by whenever" type of establishment. On my first attempt in the late afternoon, the signature Anbata Pan (Original Bun) was—predictably—completely sold out. To secure this piece, a "day two" mission was required. Arriving early in the morning is the only way to guarantee you get your hands on their limited-quantity stock before the commuter rush wipes them out. The Palate: A Masterclass in Salty-Sweet Balance The Anbata Pan is a sophisticated take on a nostalgic Japanese classic. * The Butter: They are incredibly generous with the butter. It’s a high-quality, salted variety that provides a sharp, creamy contrast to the rich sweetness of the red bean. * The Anko: Made with premium Hokkaido Erimo azuki beans, the bean paste has a refined texture that feels more "artisanal pastry" than "standard snack." The Verdict Anbataya is a must-visit for anyone curating a "best of Tokyo" food list. It’s the perfect high-energy breakfast or a curated souvenir for a fellow foodie. The "cheap and cheerful" price point combined with the premium execution makes it an easy win—if you can beat the crowds. Editor’s Tip: Since it’s located inside the JR Shinjuku B1 ticket gates (EATo LUMINE), plan to stop here right as you arrive or before you depart on your next train journey. Check the 14:00 slot if you’re also hunting for their ultra-limited "Anbata Harmonica." Price per person: ¥1–1,000 Food: 5
