Kagizen

This long-standing Japanese confectioner located in the Gion shopping district in Kyoto City was first established during the mid Edo-period. Their confections are made with carefully selected ingredients and tools which continues to offer the same carefully preserved flavors. Their specialties include their sugar sweet that looks like a chrysanthemum flower as well as the Kuzukiri which uses Okinawan brown sugar and arrowroot from the Morino-Yoshino-Kuzu Honpo. Kuzukiri is also offered in the teahouse tucked away on the first floor. They also have affiliated stores in the Gion area including the modern styled ZEN CAFE and the Kodai-ji Temple shop.
