    "Situated a short distance west of the Shogoin Temple, this is the main shop of a long-standing yatsuhashi cinnamon rice flour confections shop which was established in 1689. Using choice cinnamon, rice flour, and other select ingredients, the shop slightly changes the balance of ingredients used in its recipes depending on seasonal conditions to ensure its yatsuhashi always have the same great taste. The shop also still uses mixing kettles made in the early Showa period, continuing to make its treats the old fashioned way by hand. In addition to the standard ""Shogoin Yatsuhashi,"" the shop sells raw yatsuhashi and a variety of seasonal yatsuhashi flavors. The shop also makes and sells new products such as the ""Kaneru,"" yatsuhashi curled up into churro-like sticks."

Kyoto Areas

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.
