    This is a Japanese sweets shop in a hidden-away machiya (old townhouse) located a two-minute walk from JR Keihan Tofukuji Station. The pure Japanese-style interior has a relaxing, subdued feel. The shop’s inner garden gets lit up by illuminations at night, and becomes a different kind of magical space by day. Their specialty is “Torori-Warabimochi” (bracken starch dumpling), made from bracken starch from Japan and brown sugar from Okinawa’s Iriomote Island which is kneaded thoroughly with famous Kyoto water. The resulting soft and stretchable dumpling offers a brand-new taste sensation. It is complemented with the refreshingly sweet sauce of Kagawa refined sugar and Tanba black soybean flour. This dumpling is also available as a takeout option.

The most popular Shiratama Anmitsu (rice flour dumpling with bean paste) uses top quality red algae from Chiba Prefecture, and it is loved for the wonderful combination of brown sugar syrup, freshly cooked red peas and sweet & sour apricot. Limited items include shaved ice covered in apricot syrup during summer, and hot red bean soup during winter. The shaved ice in particular is so popular that it is sure to be sold out if one does not go to the store early.
