Tokyo, Ikebukuro. The mysterious relationship between red bean paste and croissants at &co. Anko

This is "&co. Ankoro" that I found in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The eat-in seating is eight. Business hours are from 8am to 9pm. According to the website, it is "a brand that creatively enjoys bean paste, produced by a long-established Japanese confectionery shop." Indeed... It is a unique and playful idea with bean paste sandwiched between croissants and chocolate in yokan. This time I ordered the "Fresh Chocolate Yokan (Kiwami) Set." "Chocolate Yokan (Kiwami)" is a yokan made of 66% cacao chocolate, smooth bean paste and agar. The "Chocolate An Croissant" is a salted croissant sandwiched between a lightly sweet thin bean paste and 66% cacao chocolate. A set of these two. Both were delicious😊 I think they would make a great takeaway or souvenir☺️ The menu includes "An Croissant (360 yen)" "Fresh Chocolate Yokan (Kikazubuka) (480 yen)" Subway "Higashi-Ikebukuro Station" 300m JR "Ikebukuro Station" 600m "&co.
