    Nara Yoshino-gun Yoshinocho Iigai 520
    "This confectionary shop opened in 1842. The shop is famous for its Yoshino Shui, a special kuzu starch gruel made exclusively with Yoshino kuzu starch produced using the ""kanzarashi"" method, which involves soaking it in icy-cold water. Sold in dry blocks, when covered with boiling water and gently stirred, it dissolves into a kuzu starch gruel with a very refined sweetness, and a small confection symbolizing a cherry blossom floats to the top. The shop is also filled with other sweets made with Yoshino kuzu and wasanbon fine-grained Japanese sugar, such as higashi dried candies, kuzukiri kuzu starch noodles, and kuzuame kuzu starch candies."

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
