So-honke Kawamichi-ya

This specialty shop makes and sells Soba Horu, a baked sweet going back to the early Meiji period made using buckwheat flour. Kawamichi-ya is said to go back to when Kyoto was known as Heian-kyo, and has sold sweets and soba flour since the Genroku era (1688-1704). It applied soba noodle making techniques to the making of Portuguese sweets to create Soba Horu. Since they do not use any oil, they have a light flavor and are often used in tea ceremonies and as Kyoto style sweets for guests. They come baked in umebachi crest shape or circles, and make perfect gifts.
