Bunnosuke Chaya Main Store

Candy Store

4.0

Bunnosuke Chaya head store is an old teahouse established by Meiji-period second generation rakugo story teller Katsura Bunnosuke, and its symbol is the five-storied pagoda of Houkanji Temple. Even today they offer tea and sweets to visitors going from Yasaka Shrine to the Higashiyama area around Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Popular all the way from the time of establishment are the warabimochi (bracken starch dumpling) and sweet sake. True to the founder’s words “sophisticated customers improve a boring restaurant” and ‘there is countryside in Kyoto,’ these items carry a deep feeling of style and nostalgia.

ぷるぷるわらび餅

Reviewed : 2021.11.17

やっぱりここのわらび餅は別格。ぷるんとして触感とニッキの風味。都内でも最近、コロナ禍が落ち着いてきたのが、販売催事が結構頻繁に開催をされるようになって、デパートで購入しました。
