On the way back from Kyoto. Before getting on the train, I did some shopping. The line was shorter than usual. Lucky me. I bought a Ajari mochi (141 yen) for home. It's not too sweet and goes well with tea. Although I'm curious about other sweets from different shops, I always end up coming back here. Thank you for the treat.

Ordered items: Adzuki bean mochi (140 yen). The Adzuki bean mochi was chewy and delicious. The sweet red bean paste had a refined sweetness. Despite the long line, the turnover is quick, so you can usually purchase within about 10 minutes.

On a holiday night, there was a small line but we were able to purchase without waiting too long. We got the Adzuki Bean Paste Mochi to go. The mochi had a chewy texture and the sweet red bean paste was delicious. I felt it was convenient to be able to purchase it easily at the Isetan basement. It's a bit far, but I would like to visit the main store again.

Whenever you eat it, the refined sweetness that you can easily taste is wonderful. It's a repeat item that I always end up buying when I see it at the department store. The packaging is simple and friendly, simplicity is the best! Highly recommended as a souvenir from Kyoto's famous confectionery with a long history.

Menu I took out ☆ Ajari Mochi 140 yen (tax included) It is specially packaged, but since it is a fresh confectionery, please consume it quickly. It is said to be delicious when heated in an oven or made into thin skin and fried in oil. I immediately heated it in the oven for about 1 minute. Delicious! Thank you for the meal. Mangetsu, thank you for the delicious manju!

A classic souvenir from Kyoto. I didn't know it was a famous store! I always buy it when I go on my monthly business trip. This day, I got a pack of 5. The texture is moist and chewy, with a delicate sweet red bean paste filling that is delicious. It's a popular gift that people will appreciate when you give it to them.

Adzuki bean paste-filled rice cakes. You can purchase them individually. Honestly, there isn't a big difference between buying them from various shops, but what's important is that they are delicious when freshly made! They tend to harden and slightly deteriorate after some time. The expiration date is short, so it's a must to eat them right after purchasing.

At the basement of Kyoto Isetan, I bought Ajari Mochi from Mangetsu. Ajari Mochi, 5 pieces for 702 yen (tax included). The skin is moist and soft, the filling inside is refreshing, and the mochi sandwiched inside provides a chewy and satisfying texture. It's a perfect balance. Really delicious!

I was looking for Kyoto souvenirs at Isetan. To my delight, I found my favorite Ajari mochi there! I bought a boxed set as a gift for a customer, and of course, got some for myself too... The chewy skin is so delicious. Well, it can't beat the freshly baked taste at the main store, but I'm happy I can buy it at Kyoto Station.

I am traveling across the country in search of truly delicious food. I enjoy everything from fine dining to casual eats. 【Area】Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City Area【Genre】Japanese Cuisine【Awards】Tabelog Award - Traditional Japanese Sweets and Desserts WEST - Top 100 Restaurants 2023【Number of Visits】Multiple times【Crowdedness】Not particularly crowded【One-word Comment】Ajari Mochi under the full moon. A taste like no other. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Kyoto for work and bought some Azuki bean paste mochi as souvenirs, and also got some for myself. It's a classic Kyoto souvenir. These bite-sized mochi have a chewy skin with delicious Azuki bean paste inside. They are easy to eat and convenient to buy. They are so tasty that you'll want to eat more than one.

When I went back home, I bought souvenirs for my company. Adzuki bean mochi is popular but doesn't last long. I bought it first thing in the morning at Isetan Kyoto, but the expiration date was one day shorter than the ones I saw inside the Shinkansen ticket gate during the day. I planned to distribute them on Monday, but the expiration date is until Tuesday. I have to tell them to eat it right away!! I bought a pack of 40, put it in a huge backpack along with the goods for a two-night, three-day trip back home. Even though I definitely carry less luggage than the average lady (I don't carry a makeup pouch on weekdays, just let it stay messed up), the load was still incredibly heavy. And then, I bought a lot of 551 for my husband (fried rice bento, 6 pork buns, 10 shumai, 3 packs of meatballs - all to be frozen at your own risk). Including other souvenirs and stuff for myself, the total weight was quite heavy. Adzuki bean mochi, it's irresistible. Mochi with sweet red bean paste!! Speaking of Kyoto, Adzuki bean mochi! The matcha Langues de Chat from Maître Blanche is also very popular. Well, Kyoto has too many specialties!! Kyoto souvenirs are so annoying. Nara, do your best too!! I always think of bringing back Nara's specialties when I go back, but they always end up being Kyoto specialties. Because, Nara's specialties like persimmon leaf sushi just can't be turned into souvenirs. Adzuki bean mochi sells like hotcakes. The super quick handiwork of the 551 staff is something I could never do, but selling Adzuki bean mochi is also impossible. Standing in line like that, with everyone buying in bulk, it's impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible (ﾟДﾟ) By the way, carrying this pack of 40 back home and then to the office on Monday is too tiring, so I got off at Tokyo Station from Kyoto and brought it to the office. From Tokyo Station to the office, the luggage was too heavy, and I almost collapsed...

Among the shops selling Kyoto confectionery, there is a shop here where a line is formed. The shop is named after a confectionery that resembles the moon wrapped in a Western-style dough in color and shape. Although I was also interested in that, I decided to purchase another popular representative confectionery called "Ajari Mochi". It is a unique, chewy and moist skin wrapped around sweet bean paste, making it a confectionery that is easy to eat and similar to Western sweets. The unique texture is quite nice. Thank you for the meal.

A single Adzuki bean paste rice cake was 140 yen. It was my first time trying it, and true to its name, the rice cake had a chewy texture that was really nice. The sweet red bean paste was not overly sweet, making it very delicious. It's the kind of treat that you can't help but eat 2 or 3 of.

I visited this place located in the basement of Takashimaya at JR Kyoto Station. There are queue management lanes written at the bottom of the shop. I tried the "Ajari Mochi". It is a delicious treat with a soft mochi sandwiched in a soft dough, offering a consistently tasty experience.

It is a snack that is sold everywhere if you are at Kyoto Station, but for some reason, it always has long lines at the Isetan department store basement. Today is a weekday, so I managed to buy smoothly. There is even a 40-piece box available. The expiration date is short, so please consume it promptly. D-Works uniform.

After a long time, I had some Adzuki bean rice cakes. They are still delicious! There are 10 pieces in a pack, but they disappear quickly because my family loves them too. I heard they taste great when toasted in a toaster once they harden, but they never last long enough to get hard, so I haven't tried it yet...

I happened to pass by Ajari Mochi, which always has long lines, but there was hardly any line this time, so I decided to buy some after a long time. Each piece costs around 100 yen. In my case, I got a 10% discount with my Mitsukoshi Isetan shareholder benefits card, and I used a department store gift card, so it was even more cost-effective. I took it to go and tried it after a long time. The mochi had the same chewy texture as always and was quite delicious. It's one of those Kyoto souvenirs that you can easily buy.

I like Ajari mochi here, so I will buy it when I have the chance. It is a popular souvenir from Kyoto, a classic sweet. It is a sweet with whole red bean paste wrapped in chewy skin. I also have another favorite here, a sweet called "Mangetsu." It is a product with smooth red bean paste wrapped in Western-style dough. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy it this time...

At Ajari Mochi Honpo Kyogashi Tsukasa Mitsuki, Ajari mochi is popular. The term "Ajari" in Ajari mochi refers to a high priest of the Tendai sect who performs the 1000-day ascetic training on Mt. Hiei, famous for its austere practices. The design of the product is based on the wicker hat worn by the Ajari. I purchased Ajari mochi (141 yen) at JR Kyoto Isetan store. The thin skin is moist and chewy, and it pairs perfectly with the mildly sweet red bean paste. This chewy texture is something I've never experienced elsewhere; I believe it's truly unique.
