This is an introduction to sweets that you will want to buy when you go to Kyoto.
阿闍梨餅 満月 Ajari Mochi
Ajari Mochi from a Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto called “Ajari Mochi Honpo Kyo Kashitsukasa Full Moon”. It was invented and released in 1922. The slightly Castella-flavored mochi skin and exquisitely sweet bean paste are delicious. Moreover, the amount of red bean paste is just right, and I eat one. Azuki beans called Tamba Dainagon are used.
It’s so popular that even souvenir shops in Kyoto Station make a line. Moreover, you can get it from 1 piece (119 yen). When I look at it, most people say, “10!” Or “30 pieces!” That’s what you’re buying.
There is also a cafe in the main store.
There is a cafe in the main store, and you can eat freshly made food. The hardness of Ajiri mochi changes over time. I like the slightly harder fabric I put for a day.

The original Yatsuhashi Nishio Tamechu Shoten’s
When I say Yatsuhashi, I think the thin grilled here is the most delicious.
There was an uncle who invited me a little like a push, and I was a little surprised at first, but after tasting it, I was completely obsessed with this Yatsuhashi.
It’s a cleaner sweetness or a gentle taste than other Yatsuhashi, and this simplicity is irresistible deliciousness. I’ll finish eating as soon as I’m skinny.
Yatsuhashi of “Original Yatsuhashi” continues to stubbornly protect the old-fashioned materials and manufacturing methods. The raw materials of Yatsuhashi are rice flour (domestic), sugar, soybean flour (soybeans), enzymes, and water Nikki.

It’s hard to get to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, so if you want to buy it nearby, it’s also in the Shinkyogoku shopping street. But maybe because the holidays are indefinite, I went there twice and couldn’t buy it even once (crying) Why ~.

京菓子司 末富のお菓子 Kyo Kashitsukasa Suetomi’s sweets
“The world of dreams and fun” is the origin of making sweets from Suetomi’s first generation, and Suetomi’s sweets are delicate, but they are full of cuteness and fun. My favorite is a koban-shaped rice cracker called Ryoban. It’s interesting to make you feel like an old-fashioned samurai.
In addition to the main store, which is about a 5-minute walk from Gojo Station on the Karasuma Line, there are stores in the Japanese confectionery section on the first basement floor of JR Kyoto Isetan or Kyoto Takashimaya. Other prefectures are located in Takashimaya, Osaka, Nihonbashi, Shinjuku, Yokohama, and Nagoya.
