This time, I visited this shop in search of limited edition products for the autumn and winter seasons. The exterior and interior of the shop still exude a cool atmosphere! It's wonderful. I managed to buy the items I was looking for. I also bought the famous "senbei manju" here. When I asked about the delicious wheat cake senbei I bought last time, I found out that I could buy it by the bag, so I requested it. I heard a rumor that they sell "Oonanban" during the winter. Oonanban is a dream product for red bean paste lovers, packed in a bamboo container with plenty of grainy red bean paste. The carefully cooked red bean paste made from Oonanban azuki beans had a rich flavor and a very good texture, truly a remarkable product!! The senbei manju had a crispy and light wheat cake outer layer with a flavorful red bean paste filling... It was not like the usual red bean paste, but had an elegant sweetness and texture. I really liked the refined sweetness and texture of the red bean paste, paired with the texture of the wheat cake. However, why is it called manju...? "Funoyaki" is really delicious... If I lived in Kyoto or the Kansai region and could go there frequently, I might consider buying it in bulk. Since I can't go there regularly, I can't indulge in buying in bulk, as I want to try other items as well. When I come back to Kyoto, I definitely want to stop by again. I would like to try other sweets that I haven't seen yet, and maybe even the wagashi that I always pass up.

I visited a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in search of traditional sweets to accompany my tea. I gazed at the array of traditional sweets in the historic shop and decided to purchase the limited edition Doamyouji and the peppermint-flavored Kohaku Kanten "Fukumizu". The delicate nature of the sweets made it challenging to carry, and the Doamyouji was slightly misshapen, which was disappointing. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the traditional sweets from this longstanding shop.

Thank you for viewing. I visited "Kamesuehiro," a traditional Japanese sweets shop selected as one of the top 100 stores by Tabelog. Congratulations on being selected as one of the top 100 stores. The shop is located a 2-minute walk from Karasuma Oike Station. Established in the first year of the Bunka era (1804), it is currently run by the seventh generation. The shop is housed in a building over 100 years old, exuding a nostalgic atmosphere. On this day, I tried their signature sweet, "Kyoto Yosuga." It is made by arranging Akita cedar in a four and a half tatami room and decorating it with sugar cubes, kudamono (sweetened beans), and other sweets. The photo shows the assortment for September. The contents of the sweets change about 14 times a year. There are various assortments, including moderately sweet ones and those with sweet bean paste. They are visually appealing and would make a great gift. I ended up eating them all. I also tried "Silk Drops," which is made by combining sweetened beans with Ikkyu Natto from Ho-on-an (Ikkyu-ji Temple). It has a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious treats.

I purchased about 6 items that can be stored for a long time and some that cannot. I was intrigued by the peppermint-flavored amber yokan, but I didn't buy it and now I regret it a bit. The baked kuzu was surprisingly large in size. The kuzu-filled smooth red bean paste had a peculiar texture that wasn't quite mochi-like. The moderate sweetness left a lingering taste, making it perfect to enjoy with coffee. The Chakosei was a limited-time offering from September 7th to 9th, inspired by the Kikunoshita no Chakosei festival in Kyoto. It was interesting to learn about Japanese customs through this traditional confectionery. The outer layer was firm, while the inside was a soft smooth red bean paste. I pondered over the flavor of this red bean paste as I savored each meticulously crafted piece.

I ordered the takeout menu "Kyoto Yosuga" (Kameko) for 1,300 yen (tax included). The contents may vary depending on the season. The store's business hours are until 18:00, but they have been closing at 17:00 since the pandemic. I arrived just in time before 17:00. Please be mindful of the time. Thank you for the delicious meal! Thank you, Kame Suehiro!

I have recently become fascinated with the world of traditional Japanese sweets. I received a representative sweet called "Kyoto no Yosuga" from Mr. Kame Suehiro, who used to deliver sweets to the Imperial Palace and the Tokugawa family. The sweets are arranged in a box made of Akita cedar wood, divided into compartments like a "four and a half tatami mat room," with colorful rakugan and gyuhi spread out inside. The contents change according to the season, and I was amazed by the intricately designed sweets shaped like fans, making me feel almost reluctant to eat them. I enjoyed them with a strong cup of green tea, savoring the deliciousness with my eyes and taste buds. The company was founded in the first year of the Bunka era (1804), so they have been making sweets since the time of famous figures like Ino Tadataka and Sugita Genpaku. I heard that their family motto is "To make customers happy by having them enjoy the sweets they buy, rather than just being happy to sell them."

For some reason, there are times when I keep quiet, but on the third try, as I passed by, I saw a noren curtain hanging, so I decided to go in. The interior of the shop had a Kyoto-like style with only a counter. I bought some seasonal treats, including a red bean-filled "manju" and a peppermint agar jelly. The manju had a moistness from the boiled beans, and it was delicious.

Recommended by a customer living in Kyoto, the wonderful Kyoto confectionery shop Kameyahiro has a charming exterior and interior, creating a sense of tension. The carefully handcrafted sweets made with high-quality ingredients come in small boxes with vibrant colors and some are even half-baked. Although they don't last long, they make you want to give them as gifts to someone. The shop is named "Kyoto's Support" and the seasonal sweets change regularly. The square boxes are divided like a four and a half tatami room, and are cute, but I chose the ones that open on one side and are shaped like turtle shells. They are adorned with cool floral patterns and even fireflies, making them cute. The gentle, elegant sweetness makes tea time enjoyable.

This time, I bought souvenirs from "Kameya Hiro" in Kyoto! I was looking for the cute "Kyoto no Yosuga". The shop, located just a short walk from Karasuma Oike, has an Edo-period atmosphere! As soon as you pass through the noren curtain and open the heavy sliding door, you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period. You can really sense the history of the shop, founded in 1804. When I found out that the "Kyoto no Yosuga" had a 5-day expiration date and I was meeting my friend in 7 days, I was disappointed. So I bought it for myself and got a different type of Wagashi for my friend. When I got home and opened the box, I found cute seasonal dried and fresh sweets arranged in two tiers. It was a delightful and delicious snack time. The Chiyogami paper box can also be used as a small item container. It's a recommended souvenir if you want something you can give right away. Thank you for the meal♪

"Located about a 3-minute walk from Karasuma Oike Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, is the long-established Japanese confectionery shop 'Kamesuehiro,' founded in 1804. Visited on June 23, 2023. This shop was selected as one of the top 100 sweets shops in the west region in 2022! If you're in Kyoto, you have to visit at least one traditional Japanese confectionery shop. The atmosphere here is truly elegant. I purchased the 'Kuzuyaki' for 440 yen. They offer seasonal Japanese confections designed around the theme of the four seasons. During this period, they had Japanese sweets inspired by hydrangeas, which was really lovely. I was indecisive, but the staff recommended the 'Kuzuyaki,' so I decided to try it. It was delicious, although it was a bit pricey. It's no wonder it's a long-established Japanese confectionery shop. The texture of the sweet red bean paste was amazing - it was moist, soft, and fresh. The delicate sweetness of the red bean paste was well-balanced, making it a sophisticated Japanese confection. I'm used to eating simple Japanese sweets like dorayaki and strawberry daifuku, so this long-established Japanese confectionery shop was a bit complex for me. However, it's nice to try something different once in a while. Thank you for the treat!"

There was a sign on the shop's window saying "Warabi mochi available." I was informed by the staff that today was the last day for warabi mochi as it is a spring sweet. Since it is made from 100% warabi powder, I thought it must be delicious and bought it immediately. The chewy texture of the warabi mochi and the refreshing sweet bean paste were really good. The sweet bean paste didn't overpower the warabi mochi at all. I also tried the "Senbei Manju," a rice cracker filled with sweet bean paste, which is filled with the paste after ordering, giving it a crispy skin. I understood why it was called "Senbei Manju." It was really delicious with a nice texture of sweet bean paste. Although it had a shelf life of two days, it would be rude not to eat it fresh.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Karasuma Oike Station, this city hotel is in front of a popular shop. While it is a popular spot, there is usually no long line, making it easy to purchase. The historic building is a landmark. Upon opening the wooden door and entering the shop, you will see a small selection of sweets for sale that day. I ordered the "nama-gashi" for 440 yen. Unfortunately, one of the three types was sold out. The feature of this sweet is the rounded shape and moist texture of the bean paste, with a smooth skin that feels pleasant on the tongue as you eat. The sweetness of the "nama-gashi" is just right, not too sweet but still satisfying. It's a challenge for a sweet to be delicious without being overly sweet, but the balance of flavors in this shop's sweets is perfect and delicious. I would definitely like to visit again.

Kyoto Uzumaru Oike, Sweets West Hyakumeiten, Kamematsuhiro-san. It is a representative long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto. The building exudes a dignified atmosphere. Upon entering the store, you can experience a mysterious feeling as if you have traveled back to the Edo period. The ambiance has hardly changed since that time. It feels like just by visiting, you could receive blessings. Divine. I tried the warabimochi and mochi. The warabimochi has smooth koshi-an inside. The mochi has a fragrant skin that pairs well with hot tea. A Japanese confectionery shop where you can fully savor the taste of Kyoto. Truly delightful. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a short walk from Karasuma Oike Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line, is Kamemasuhiro, a traditional Japanese confectionery shop that has been in business for over 100 years. The shop, with a sign indicating that it is a confectionery shop, is situated right across from ACE Hotel. I finally had the chance to visit this place that had caught my attention every time I passed by. The shop has been passed down through seven generations since its establishment in the first year of the Bunka era (1804). The founder originally worked as a kettle maker in Daigo, in the southern part of Kyoto, before moving to the city and starting a Kyoto confectionery shop under the name "Kameya Matsumaru." The current name has been in use since the fourth generation. The shop's interior exudes a sense of history, with display cases showcasing various confectionery samples, making it hard to leave. However, with other plans ahead, I opted for takeout. While their dried sweets are famous, I decided to go for fresh confections for myself. I ordered the Warabi Mochi for 490 yen (tax included), which they sprinkle with soybean flour after ordering. It was filled generously with sweet bean paste, and the thick warabi skin provided a satisfying chew. This Warabi Mochi is a limited-time treat available from around mid-March to after Golden Week ❤︎ I also tried the Senbei Manju called Miyoshi (price forgotten), where they fill the pastry with sweet bean paste after ordering. The crispy pastry had a delightful fragrance, and the fluffy sweet bean paste and red bean inside were delicious ❤︎ While the "Dainagon" variety is only available in winter, this one seems to be offered year-round. The Senbei Manju is a conundrum of a manju (sweet bun) shaped like a turtle shell ❤︎ Stay tuned for the solution to this mystery! If you love Japanese sweets, be sure to visit this place. They kindly handed me the treats with a gentle reminder to "carry them straight home as they are generously sprinkled with soybean flour," and I completed my mission. Thank you for the wonderful treats ❤︎

Kameyahiro is a charming shop with a historic Kyoto-style building that may be overshadowed by the modern buildings around it. The inside is traditional and the staff is very polite. Their specialty is dried sweets, with the filling changing depending on the season. I opted for the Monaka, which is made to order and takes some time. It was elegant in size and not too sweet. I recommend trying it toasted. I hope to buy their boxed dried sweets for a special occasion in the future!

I'm not a big fan of yokan, but my friend wanted to buy some, so we got the smallest assortment to go. I tried a little and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. Yokan has a very refined taste, not dry or crunchy like I expected. It was truly a wonderful flavor. The assortment also included mochi and other traditional Japanese sweets, which were also very tasty. The presentation of the assortment was beautiful as well. Thank you very much. It was a great meal.

I visited for the first time the other day. I had high expectations as it had good reviews on the internet. The traditional appearance of the building really added to the atmosphere. The inside of the store also had a nice ambiance. There were many staff members, but they all seemed quite busy. The customer service was a mix of good and bad. Some staff members were not very friendly when I asked questions, which was a bit off-putting as I have encountered more polite staff at other traditional Japanese sweets shops recently. In the end, I bought about 10 pieces of wagashi (Japanese sweets). The taste was average. As for a return visit... hmm, maybe next time I'll try the famous dried sweets they are known for. Or perhaps I'll visit another shop since Kyoto has many renowned stores. That's how I feel about it.

After the bakery, I walked and arrived at this place. Inside a building, stands out with a regal presence. The name "Kameyahiro" is boldly displayed. The entrance exudes a sense of awe. I passed through the dignified curtain. Inside, there is a sense of age and history. Not just old, but meticulously maintained. I purchased a small Kyoto-style sweet here. They wrapped it neatly for me. The dried sweets seem like they will last a while, but they are good for 5 days here. The container is made of washi paper, giving a nostalgic feeling. When I was a child, I had many boxes like this. The sweets are arranged in two tiers. Oh, they all look delicious. Which one to start with? It's also fun to ponder. Even if the top tier is finished, there's still the bottom tier.

I visited Kimatsubiro and purchased four wagashi. The wagashi are sweet, flavorful, and delicious. I don't know the names of them. The green one has a chewy texture which is good. The white one has a refined red bean paste which is good. The red one has a sweet red bean paste with a strong red bean flavor which is good. The kinton is refined and delicious. Personally, I liked this one the best.

I like things that are honest, straightforward, and beautiful. I always aspire to be like that too, but it's quite difficult. The pastry girl received some pastries and brought them home. Opening the package revealed a box with a nice aroma, containing carefully wrapped sweets. Wow, the daughter and I whispered in awe. These are Kameyahiro's traditional Japanese sweets. I've had them many times before, but this is the first time. I wonder if it's a seasonal item? White azuki beans or Tebo beans? When we tried them, we both agreed that it tastes like Kyoto. I had three pieces, while my daughter had one. What's up with that difference? To become a beautiful person, more training is still needed.
