This in one of the remaining wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet) shops in Kyoto. It is well-known not only for its confectionery, but also for its prime location, right on Shijo St. One can buy the sweets to take out, or go upstairs to the cafe, which has Ming Dynasty pottery and antique furniture. The Wagashi and Green Tea (macha, the frothy bitter green tea used in the traditional tea ceremony) set costs JPY700. Also famous is the shop's kuzukiri arrowroot noodles with a sweet sauce for JPY800.
