    This pickled vegetable shop is ten minutes' walk from Tofukuji Station, and ten minutes' drive from Kyoto station. Their wide variety is centered around the Shibazuke style Oragamurazuke pickles, made in the style passed down in the old capital of Ohara, as well as kombu kelp and shredded daikon, eggplant, or burdock root preserved in soy sauce. Their main product, Shibazuke-fu Oragamurazuke, replaces the original eggplant with cucumbers, and pickles them along with ginger, myouga ginger, and red shiso seeds. The gentle sourness and firm cucumber combine to create an elegant taste treat. Their trademark symbol is an orange circle overlaid with an Oharame woman peddler.

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Higashiyama-ku Kiyomizu 1-262
    Kyoami is a confectionary located on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward. Its most famous item is cream puffs made with the same cinnamon-flavored dough used to make the traditional yatsuhashi. The pastry is not filled with cream until after the customer has ordered, and the combination of the delicate cinnamon aroma and the generous portion of cream makes these cream puffs a popular to go snack. The shop also has an eat-in space, where customers can relax while enjoying specialty coffee drinks and sweets

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.
