I visited on a Sunday and was able to purchase without waiting in line. I was surprised by the thick and gooey mitarashi sauce that looked like it was about to spill, and when I ate the mochi, I was surprised again. The mochi was soft with a chewy texture and delicious! The mitarashi had a perfect level of sweetness, and I finished it quickly. I would love to eat it again when I come back to Arashiyama. Thank you for the meal!

A slightly larger than usual rice dumpling. The sweet soybean paste was pleasantly warm, but the dumpling itself was a bit cold. It was a bit disappointing that there was a temperature difference when eating. It's convenient for a quick snack while on the go. Thank you for the meal.

When researching food to try in Arashiyama, you will always come across the shop selling mitarashi dango. It is located just before the bamboo grove path, perfect for enjoying a stroll while eating dango. The large, round and shiny mitarashi dango not only look appealing but also taste delicious.

There were three large mitarashi dango, which were sweet, chewy, and delicious! However, there was nowhere to sit and it seemed like you could only eat while walking. Luckily, there were trash cans along the way!

I ate mitarashi dango - three large dango stuck together! The sauce was a little sweet, so I thought it would be nice if it was a bit more soy sauce-like. The dango felt more like mochi than dango! It was delicious because it was warm and freshly made. It is very photogenic, so I think it's nice to eat it as a souvenir!! There were also sweet potato chips and beef tongue skewers! There were both crispy and soft sweet potato chips, but it was a shame that there were no thin ones.

I visited a shop that is quite popular when searching in Arashiyama! Even though it's a sweet potato shop, their Mitarashi dango sells like hotcakes. I also stopped by for the Mitarashi dango. The dango was chewy, the Mitarashi sauce was delicious, and it appeared bigger in person than in photos. It was so tasty~♡ I wonder if there are others like me? I was judging based on the photos, but I thought I was getting 2 dango until I bought them... Turns out, I got 3 dango (*´艸`) haha. There are no seats, so please be careful if you have small children with you.

My partner suggested going to Arashiyama that day, so I visited without any prior information. As we walked out of the station, we saw many shops, similar to the town around Ise Shrine. We tried the Mitarashi dango that my partner had seen online first. It consists of three small dumplings soaked in a sweet soy sauce glaze. It had a refined sweetness, but it was just average. My partner had the same opinion. There are many delicious Mitarashi dango shops in the area, so we won't be eating here again.

I saw it on Instagram and always wanted to try Mitarashi dango. I finally got the chance when I had to go to Arashiyama. There were a lot of foreign tourists there. I recommend trying the hot Mitarashi dango on the spot. It's located near the "Bamboo Forest Path," so if you're going to Arashiyama, definitely check it out.

Located on the main street of Arashiyama, this shop sells large mitarashi dango. I found this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. When I arrived, there was a line of over 15 people (around 11 am on a weekday), but the turnover was quick and I was able to purchase my dango in about 5 minutes. Each dango costs 280 yen. The dango was large and generously coated with mitarashi sauce. It was chewy and had a delicious sweet and salty flavor. Since each piece is quite big, one dango was satisfying enough!

When you search for Arashiyama food on SNS, you will always come across Kotoimo Honpo! I tried their Mitarashi dango! There was a long line, but it moved smoothly so I didn't feel like I had to wait too long! The dango was soft and delicious, with plenty of honey.

The second stop on the Arashiyama food tour was here. A shop often seen on TikTok. I went to Furutokoyamamoto, where the Mitarashi dango is apparently buzzing on TikTok. I don't usually eat Mitarashi dango because it's too sweet, but this one wasn't too sweet and I could eat it in one go! It was delicious ⭐︎ I will definitely go again♪

It was impossible to resist indulging in food while sightseeing in Arashiyama. Thanks to that, I will definitely return from my Kyoto trip with a few extra pounds! I never knew sweet potatoes could look so appealing, and the Mitarashi from Kotoimo Honpo was exquisite. The balance of sweetness and texture was just right. I will definitely go back for more!

I went to the 205th store for attracting attention, this time at Furuto Imo Honpo! It seems to be popular on Instagram, so I bought it! It was delicious with a strong elasticity and a sauce that was not too sweet but just the right amount of sweetness. If you're interested, please stop by once!

Near the entrance of the bamboo forest in Arashiyama, they were selling "grilled mitarashi" dango with three large dumplings skewered together. I also wanted to try the sweet potatoes. The mitarashi sauce was delicious, but it felt a bit powdery. Next time, I'll go for the sweet potatoes.

I visited here at the entrance of the bamboo forest in Arashiyama. There is a long line, but it moves quickly. I got some "sweet potato chips" to go. I received them right away. They were lightly salted and just regular sweet potato chips. Good for eating on the go.

I visited in the afternoon around 3 o'clock on a regular day. Due to the autumn foliage season, there was a line, and the wait time was about 15 minutes. The specialty items are sweet potato snacks like candied sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips, but the grilled Mitarashi dango is also popular on Instagram. It was not too sweet and had a chewy texture, very delicious.

One of the popular tourist spots in Kyoto, which is also loved by people of all ages, is Arashiyama. I visited one of the popular food spots in Arashiyama called "Kotoimo Honpo". This place has been buzzing on social media for their "Grilled Mitarashi" skewers. The nearest station is Arashiyama Station, and the shop is about a 5-minute walk from there. Kotoimo Honpo is a take-out specialty store that sells dumplings and soft serve ice cream. Their most popular and recommended menu item is the "Grilled Mitarashi" (280 yen). The freshly grilled mitarashi dumplings on skewers are very chewy and come in a tube-shaped container soaked in mitarashi sauce, which gives them a delicious flavor. Each dumpling is larger than usual, about twice the size, and has a good amount of volume. Kotoimo Honpo is always crowded with tourists, so if you are exploring Arashiyama, be sure to visit this place.

I purchased a Strawberry Daifuku Dumpling for 432 yen at the Kyoto Arashiyama Koto Imoto Honpo Kyoto Mitarashi store in a shopping mall. The extra-large strawberry daifuku was delicious, so I wanted to try the dumplings too. The dumpling was heavy and I thought the skewer might break. It was delicious!

I purchased a strawberry daifuku for 540 yen at a shopping mall where Kyoto Arashiyama Kotomoto Honpo was opening a store. The daifuku was made by a skilled Japanese confectioner and was filled with a Kyoto-style dorayaki, Hokkaido red bean paste, a light cream, and plenty of fresh strawberries. It was delicious!
