    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.

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.

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.
