    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Shichikukamitakedonochou 43
    This Japanese sweets shop located in the Kita Ward of Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture is famous nationwide, which is why its Nama Dorayaki, which has been shown on TV and other media, sells out soon after the shop opens. Nama Dorayaki is a new type of dora-yaki sweet with several centimeters of fresh cream in addition to red bean paste sandwiched in between two sponge cakes. There are three flavors of ogura (sweet adzuki bean), matcha, and kuro-goma (black sesame) available, and the combination of red bean and cream that is not overly sweet is outstanding. In addition, they also sell popular Japanese sweets such as Oboro, which is koshi-an (fine-grained sweet bean paste) covered in warabi-mochi (bracken-starch dumpling), and Kuri-Mochi Mikasa.

    以前訪問した時は営業時間前から行列が出来ており残念ながら買えなかったが、観光客が減っている今は午前11時頃の訪問でも購入出来た。 肝心の味も美味しく、とても満足出来た。

  • Ichimonjiya Wasuke

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Murasakinoimamiyachou 69
    A venerable café and sweet shop founded over 1,000 years ago located on the approach to the east gate of Imamiya-jinja Shrine in Kyoto City’s Kita Ward. The shop’s renowned aburi mochi are an old-fashioned Japanese treated made by taking sticky, course pounded glutinous rice covered with kinako toasted soybean flour and broiling it over a charcoal fire on bamboo skewers. Ever-so-slightly sweet, the toasty aroma and delicious light brown miso sauce stimulates the appetite. Said to aid in healing from disease and even warding away disaster, these little treats have been popular with shrine visitors since ancient times. Patrons can take a break and enjoy a sweet from the couches and tatami seating in and outside the shop.

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kita-ku Shichikukitadaimoncho 78
    This Japanese sweets shop was opened in 1947. They offer a wide array of treats, from their famous Tabiyakko cookies made with plentiful black sugar from Hateruma, to fresh sweets and yokan bean jelly, monaka filled wafers and warabi mochi jelly. Their flagship product Tabiyakko got their name from the idea of a travel (tabi) snack, and the name from a servant (yakko) for a procession of daimyo lords, and they have a soft, crumbly consistency. They're made with flour, eggs and sugar, and baked to create a texture somewhere between boro cookies and castella cake. Their goods make perfect gifts, especially when wrapped in their paper featuring designs from Nihonga painter Insho Domoto.

  • Umezono Sabo

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kita-ku Murasakinohigashifujinomorichou 11-1
    Umezono Sabo is a sister store to the old Japanese sweets cafe Umezono which opened in 2016, located along Kuramaguchi-dori Street about a seven-minute walk from Horikawa-Kuramaguchi bus stop. They make use of the Kyoto machiya (old townhouse) feel to create a relaxed retro atmosphere. At the second-floor teahouse, one can try Japanese black tea and green tea together with “Kazari-kan.” This is made by kneading red bean paste with vegetable gelatin and bracken and arranging like a Western sweet with fruits, nuts and fresh cream. This feast for the eyes is a new generation Japanese sweet, also available as a takeout and souvenir.

    松屋といえば、こちらのお品が一番に浮かびます。さっぱりとした白味噌の甘さに大徳寺納豆の塩味がアクセントになっており、とても品の良いバランスです。お店もご対応も包装も総じて落ち着き、あっさりされてみえます。こういう事が普通にサラリとできる事が、やはり、すごいです。

    魚介の専門のお店ですが、ランチに甘鯛のから揚げとか高いうな丼を持ってくるあたりが結構な高級路線のお店です。それでいて、どのメニューも高すぎないぎりぎりの価格設定をしていて、微妙な高級路線を突いているような感じです。味は価格相応にいいので、それなりの高級ランチを食べたい人には向いているとは思います。

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.
