Ajyarimochi Honpo Mangetsu

Japanese Confectionery
A venerable Japanese confectionery shop founded at the end of the Edo period located in Kyoto City’s Sakyo Ward. The shop is famous for its ajari mochi rice cakes, a popular and standard Kyoto souvenir. Resembling the conical wicker hats worn by ajari, the term for a Tendai Buddhist high priest, these elegant sweets consist of a hearty helping of an sweet bean paste stuffed inside a thin, chewy skin of mochi pounded glutinous rice. The shop’s signature mangetsu, a sweet once officially provided to the Kujo prince clan, is also popular and is only sold on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

    今回は阿闍梨餅を知人から頂きました、京都に行った時のみやげとしてよく買ってきます、あっさり味の風味で私の好きな和菓子です。

    阿闍梨餅は1つづつ、個包装されているのでとても配りやすい。特にコロナ禍とかだと、京都では八つ橋も土産に有名だけど、こちらのほうが食べやすくておすすめ。小豆が上品で、皮がもっちりしていて、なんともいえないおいしさ。お日持ちが短めなのでお土産にするときはそれに気を付けて。
  • 京都土産はもっぱらここ

    京都のお土産で一番喜ばれるのは阿闍梨餅なんだよ。八ツ橋は有名だけど、いかにもっていう感じだし、慣れちゃっているから新鮮味がない。阿闍梨さんは、不思議な食感と美味しさで喜ばれる!
