The Maple Mania

Running out of fresh ideas for sweet souvenirs from Tokyo? If you've exhausted the typical Tokyo Banana and Hiyoko options, turn your attention to the cookies, pastries and dry cakes from The Maple Mania, the maple syrup-loving sweets shop conveniently located inside the ticket gates at Tokyo Station. Contrary to what their ads suggest, the offerings are less 'American' and more typically Japanese, which is to say they're elaborately packaged and are pretty much guaranteed to taste good.
