They make all sorts of wagashi (Japanese sweets).
I tried their matcha jelly...matcha gelatin cubes, sweet bean paste, shiratama (similar to mochi balls) & mandarin oranges.
This also came with some kuromitsu (molasses), but I didn't use it.
I enjoyed this especially since it was so hot and humid.
Sweet bean paste wrapped with sakura flavored kuzu mochi and a salted sakura leaf.
He said he enjoyed this.
I'm glad we tried this place, I have a feeling we tried them before but I never wrote about them.
We'll be back whenever we are in Kyoto.

At first I thought it was the gyudon chain. :)
ReplyDeletebut these sweets sound just as good!
I just tried the gyudon from Dell's Kitchen and Bakery on McCully and Young. Meh. Can't beat Yoshinoya or Sugiya! Maybe if the put half the rice might have been better. So.Much.Rice.
