    コロナ禍前や休日は必ず並んで食していたお店らしいですが。ラッキーな事に並ばず、お客さん居なく食せました。創業は1682年。 約300年強。粟と餅米を混ぜてつき立ての柔らかい餅にきな粉塗した物とこし餡で包んだ物が暖かい緑茶と合います。ほっこり休憩出来る甘味です。今チャンスです。

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Kuromondori Nakadachiuri Agaru
    A long-standing confectioner that first opened in 1882 and has been making confections that convey the charm of Kyoto ever since. They continue to make delicate Japanese confections that show the passing of the seasons in accordance with the 24 divisions of the luni-solar calendar year. Their most famous confection is their Juraku steamed bun, made with a unique flavored dough and stuffed with red-bean paste that was once solely for the Jurakudai palace, which has been made by Shioyoshiken since their founding. It has a gentle flavor with a moderate level of sweetness. Their treats, which also express the seasons through their shapes, colors, and imprints, are also a feast for your eyes.

    歴史を感じさせる立派なお店は晴明神社の近く。電車の駅からは少々歩きます。 店内も伝統的なつくり。陳列棚には主菓子、干菓子が綺麗に並べられています。 初めてなので、ご主人と相談して代表的なお菓子を買いました。正午を回ったくらいでしたが、一部は売切れ。予約した方が確実だと思います。 菊日和。白餡が入った餅菓子です。餅の薄さと餡の上品さが際立っています。茶道をしている義父が感心していました。 山...

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Shichihonmatsu Dori Ichijo Agaru Takigahanacho 429-5
    This venerable tofu shop has been dedicated solely to craft of Kyoto-style tofu since it was established in 1897. Its name stems Toyokebime-no-kami, the god of food and the enshrined deity of the outer shrine of Ise Grand Shrine. The shop's diverse selection includes more than 15 varieties of tofu alone, including momen-dofu (firm tofu), which can be found in any Japanese kitchen, as well as their honyuzu-dofu (yuzu citrus tofu), goma-dofu (sesame tofu), aojiso-dofu (green shiso tofu), and kuromame-dofu (black soybean tofu). Because each variety has a different firmness, texture, and flavor, customers can enjoy finding the tofu that matches their tastes. The shop also sells sweets such as soy milk pudding and soymilk yogurt, namafu (raw wheat gluten), which can add flair to any dish, soy milk face soap made with 100% organic soy milk, and other products.

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Shakenagayacho 675-2

    老舗の「老松」が下賀茂神社蛍の夕べ、糺の森 納涼市に出店としてお店がありました。思わず夏柑糖を買いました。 夏柑糖は夏蜜柑の寒天です。寒天なのに少しゼリーのような食感、又、夏蜜柑の苦みが少しあり絶妙です。お子さんには少し苦みがきついかな?(お取り寄せもできます)今回は、持ち帰り。出店でもきちんと保冷剤も付けていただけました。賞味期限も4日間ありましたよ。普段は北野、嵐山、高島屋に出店しています。

    京都、西陣は古くから帯の産地で有名です。京都の呉服屋さんは、地方から反物など買いに来られるお客様への、お土産として塩昆布やチリメンジャコなどを自宅で炊き、お土産にされたという・・・。これが京都と、塩昆布やおジャコのなり染という話もあります。 一つづつきれいな包装紙で巻いてあるので、そのままで立派なお土産になります。

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

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.
