    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi Sakyo-ku Mall Small Road Imadegawa Koulu
    A venerable Japanese confectionery shop founded at the end of the Edo period located in Kyoto City’s Sakyo Ward. The shop is famous for its ajari mochi rice cakes, a popular and standard Kyoto souvenir. Resembling the conical wicker hats worn by ajari, the term for a Tendai Buddhist high priest, these elegant sweets consist of a hearty helping of an sweet bean paste stuffed inside a thin, chewy skin of mochi pounded glutinous rice. The shop’s signature mangetsu, a sweet once officially provided to the Kujo prince clan, is also popular and is only sold on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

    今回は阿闍梨餅を知人から頂きました、京都に行った時のみやげとしてよく買ってきます、あっさり味の風味で私の好きな和菓子です。

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Tanakashimoyanagichou 17

    上次京都之旅從鞍馬回來市區之後,走在路上發現這間烤糰子,吃了之後驚為天人。這次回到京都就想再吃一次,所以便特地走訪了一趟。這次是內用,還點了冰紅茶和一杯熱茶,烤糰子一隻點經典醬油烤糰子,另一個點奶油烤糰子,兩隻都很好吃,配著茶慢慢享用,很是愉悅。

    数を一杯置いている訳ではないですが、ひととおりの種類を揃えて京都の老舗らしい店構えでされてます。 外れなく、甘すぎず、おいしくいただけます。

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku Gionmachiminamigawa 572-2

    清水寺、二年坂、八坂神社と歩いて回り体がほてってきたので甘味を食べようと探して巡り合った店、パフェよりかき氷に目がいき頂きました。ボリュウーム感が半端なく食べきれるかと思いましたが完食、美味しかったでした。お値段は(汗)その点がマイナス点かな。もう少しリーズナブルな価格になったらと思いました。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
