    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Ukyo-ku Taniguchiumezumacho Myoshinji Kita Monmae
    A Japanese-style confectioner with a long history that first opened in 1802. The shop makes small bath, hand-made confections and is the purveyor for both Ninnaji Temple and Jingoji Temple, a sub temple of Myoshinji Temple. Their Kinugasa sweet is a gentle blend of sugar and starch and comes from a tale in ancient folklore when the Emperor Uda hung a white cloth over a pine tree to imitate the beauty of the snowscape covering the midsummer Mt. Kinugasa.

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.
