    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City, Kamigyo-ku Imadeikawa-dori Horikawa west entrance
    This shop offering traditional Kyoto-style confectionery is located at the Horikawa-Imadegawa intersection in Nishijin, Kyoto’s famed weaving district. Based in an old Kyoto machiya (townhouse) the exterior has a large, keyaki-wood signboard depicting the characters for “Yuzumochi,” one of their representative sweets. Passing through the entrance which welcomes you with display items that vary from season to season, you’ll find that the first floor is a spacious sales area. The second floor has a rest area looking out at the Kyoto machiya (townhouse) style teahouse garden where one can try items such as sets of seasonal namagashi (fresh Japanese sweets) and matcha green tea. There are also counter seats where the artisans will make the sweets you order right before your eyes, and this is popular as a feast for the eyes.

    Tsuruya Yoshinobu is really the best place for those people loving freshly made luxury Japanese traditional sweets! For me its not about whether the master makes the art in front of you or not, I go...

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Shichihonmatsu Dori Ichijo Agaru Takigahanacho 429-5
    This venerable tofu shop has been dedicated solely to craft of Kyoto-style tofu since it was established in 1897. Its name stems Toyokebime-no-kami, the god of food and the enshrined deity of the outer shrine of Ise Grand Shrine. The shop's diverse selection includes more than 15 varieties of tofu alone, including momen-dofu (firm tofu), which can be found in any Japanese kitchen, as well as their honyuzu-dofu (yuzu citrus tofu), goma-dofu (sesame tofu), aojiso-dofu (green shiso tofu), and kuromame-dofu (black soybean tofu). Because each variety has a different firmness, texture, and flavor, customers can enjoy finding the tofu that matches their tastes. The shop also sells sweets such as soy milk pudding and soymilk yogurt, namafu (raw wheat gluten), which can add flair to any dish, soy milk face soap made with 100% organic soy milk, and other products.

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Go Tsuji Dori Senbon Higashi Iru Nishiitsutsujihigashimachi 74-2

    京都、西陣は古くから帯の産地で有名です。京都の呉服屋さんは、地方から反物など買いに来られるお客様への、お土産として塩昆布やチリメンジャコなどを自宅で炊き、お土産にされたという・・・。これが京都と、塩昆布やおジャコのなり染という話もあります。 一つづつきれいな包装紙で巻いてあるので、そのままで立派なお土産になります。

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

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.
