Kanshundo Higashi Branch
This Japanese sweets shop located in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture is famous for its Chaju-no-Utsuwa, an edible confectionary that is so elaborately made it is nearly mistake for a real chawan (rice bowl or tea cup). Instead of breaking it and tasting it as is, you can enjoy a rather different taste by drinking matcha green tea in the bowl. Their namagashi sweets modeled on the shape of flowers and sweet bean jellies are also popular. At the on-site teahouse, visitors can enjoy the taste of Japanese sweets including Japanese confections, anmitsu, and matcha parfait. With advance reservation one can also experience how to make Japanese confections.
