I visited a shop located about a 3-minute walk from Fushimi Inari Station. I arrived around 3 pm on a holiday. The shop is situated off the main street, making it a bit difficult to find without prior research. When I visited, almost all the traditional Japanese sweets were still available, indicating that the shop prepares a large quantity of sweets. I purchased three items: a daifuku made with red beans, a yellow powder ohagi, and a regular ohagi. The total cost was around 500 yen, which is quite affordable, but note that the shop does not accept electronic payments. Upon tasting, I was impressed by the softness of the outer layer and the sweetness of the red bean paste. The daifuku had an incredibly soft and fluffy outer layer, not just elastic but truly soft. The thickness of the outer layer was also surprising. The red bean paste inside was initially sweet, but the aftertaste was not overly rich, creating a unique experience. The yellow powder ohagi and regular ohagi were also fluffy with a refreshing sweetness. All the sweets had a perfect balance of sweetness in the red bean paste without being too heavy, making them a delightful treat that combines traditional and modern flavors.

I visited Fushimi Inari Shrine after a long time. Although I didn't go up to the mountain, I visited the main shrine. The once quiet and somewhat old-fashioned Torii-mae shopping street is now bustling with foreigners. Inari Futaba-san is, of course, a shop affiliated with Demachi Futaba-san, famous for its bean daifuku just like Demachi. They also sell ohagi and three-color dango, as well as seasonal wagashi that you can enjoy at different times. This time, I bought the autumn limited chestnut daifuku and ohagi (with kinako and anko). When I got home, I immediately tried them. The chestnuts were candied and very elegant, with a fine anko that matched the extremely soft but also fine daifuku, truly living up to the Futaba-san name. The ohagi also had an elegant sweetness and fine mochi. The chestnut daifuku costs 200 yen, and the ohagi costs 180 yen. They may be slightly smaller than the ones in Demachi, but the prices are very reasonable, making them a must-buy souvenir if you happen to visit Fushimi Inari. The location is a bit off the main path from Fushimi Inari Taisha and the Keihan/JR stations, so it doesn't get as crowded as Demachi Futaba-san, and you can still enjoy the same delicious treats. I highly recommend this shop.

Located a short walk from the exit of the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, opposite the station direction, this shop offers a specialty called "mame daifuku" (¥180-). The portion of beans is a bit small. Thanks to visiting right after opening, the daifuku was freshly made with very soft skin.

Established in 1933, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop is known for its specialty, the "豆大福" (Bean Daifuku), where freshly pounded mochi is mixed with red beans and wrapped in smooth sweet bean paste. This shop is a branch of the famous "Demachi Futaba" and continues to serve delicious treats. During my visit on September 18, 2023, I tried the Bean Daifuku for ¥180, the Three-Colored Dango for ¥150, and the Wild Fern with sweet bean paste for ¥180.

Inari Futaba in Demachi Futaba is a traditional Japanese sweets shop with a lot of history. Their signature "mame daifuku" is even better than the main store's. You can find Demachi Futaba in major department stores, but this place offers a peaceful and easy experience without the crowds. The mame daifuku here is truly delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again.

After work, I want to eat the mochi with bean paste from Futaba in Demachi. It's already evening, so I wonder if they will be sold out if I go now! Oh, I remember there is also a Futaba in Inari! There were four mochi with bean paste available! I bought four mochi with bean paste and four pieces of Mizu-yokan! The mochi with bean paste were the last four! Although it may not be as famous as Futaba in Demachi, Futaba in Inari was also really delicious! Thank you for the meal! ＼(^o^)／

After leaving the fruit confectionery shop Ito-ken Fushimi Inari store, I headed towards my next destination, Fushimi Inari. Before that, I remembered another shop I had to visit, so I hurried towards the station from the Inari shrine gate and stopped by "Inarifutaba." I bought some bean mochi as I planned to enjoy it at the top of Inari. When people hear "Futaba's bean mochi," they might think of the popular long line shop Demachi Futaba in Demachiyanagi. This shop was apparently split off from the Demachiyanagi shop about 90 years ago, making it a well-established store. However, unlike Demachiyanagi, this shop doesn't have long lines, but I heard they sell out early. It was already past 3 PM. I thought they would be sold out by now, and indeed they were. However, I decided to buy other items. I saw the tempting "wild bracken mochi" and "water manju" in the showcase. Alright, let's go with those. I also wanted to eat dango, but it came in a pack of two, so eating it along with the former could make me too full and uncomfortable later. So, I bought one of each of the former. Back at Fushimi Inari Taisha, it was filled with foreigners (mostly Westerners). Along with these foreigners, I started climbing towards the top of Inari, but the heat was intense. After passing the middle part, I gave up. It wouldn't be fun to get heatstroke here. I turned back down the stairs and found a small rest area where I sat on a bench and enjoyed the purchased sweets. The wild bracken mochi was amazing. Incredibly delicious. The sticky texture of the bracken mochi melted perfectly in my mouth. The sweet bean paste was rich but not too heavy. Irresistible. As for the water manju, the combination of kudzu and bean paste was great. I would like to try eating it chilled. After finishing the water bottle, I felt my energy recover, so I left Inari, but now I also want to try the bean mochi.

Located near Fushimi Inari, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop may be easy to miss if you're not familiar with it... but it's definitely worth seeking out! I went there wanting to try mitarashi dango, but they were already sold out... so I tried their wild bracken mochi and bean daifuku instead. The chewy texture of the wild bracken mochi was irresistible. The moist red bean paste was also delicious. The bean daifuku had a hint of salt and a great bean texture! Thank you for the delicious treats.

I visited "Inarifutaba," a traditional Japanese confectionery shop located in Kyoto city. Established in 1933, this shop is a nostalgic place with a Showa-era atmosphere. It is a 7-minute walk from Fushimi Inari Station on the Keihan Electric Railway and within walking distance from Inari Station on the JR Nara Line, close to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. The shop is a branch of the famous bean rice cake shop "Demachi Futaba." Their specialty is the "Bean Daifuku," made by mixing red kidney beans into freshly pounded mochi and wrapping it around smooth sweet bean paste. Today, I tasted the following items: - Bean Daifuku: A round white daifuku with beans kneaded into the surface. Inside the smooth mochi, there is plenty of elegant sweet bean paste. - Mizu Yokan: A smooth and lightly sweetened yokan. - Minazuki: A white uirou with a chewy texture topped with red beans. - Three-color Dango: Chewy dango with a scent of mochi rice. I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the delicious treats.

I went to buy some bean daifuku, but I already ate it so it's not in the photo. It was around 4 pm on a weekday and there were many tourists at Fushimi Inari. There were about 10 bean daifuku lined up. The bean daifuku here is the best! Demachiyanagi always seems to have a line, but I often buy from here. I also bought some young sweetfish that are commonly sold at this time of year, so I'm looking forward to eating them.

The shop had a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere. The delicious mitarashi dango, with its chewy texture, was wrapped in a tasty sauce and disappeared in no time. Next time, I want to try the sakuramochi and kusa dango. Please note that this shop is cash only!

In February, Kyoto is cold. It was snowing. I got off at Fushimi Inari Station for errands, so I visited Fushimi Inari Shrine and took a short walk. I bought red rice (300g for 540 yen) at "Inarifutaba", where I previously bought rice cakes. The red rice is sold by weight, with 100g for 180 yen. It may be a bit more expensive compared to convenience store red rice, but it has plenty of azuki beans. The texture is just right, and it was delicious. I received sesame salt in a bag, and you can sprinkle it on the rice yourself. The salt grains are fine and shiny. Be careful not to put too much. The price is typical for Kyoto, but it was tasty so I would consider going back. Red rice is said to be good for the liver and reducing swelling. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again. Payment was made in cash.

In February 2023, after dining at Hanaya Honten, my companion expressed a desire to eat more, specifically Inari sushi. We tried visiting Senbon Inari near Fushimi Inari Station, but it was too early. We stumbled upon a shop preparing to open, named "Inari Sushi," and decided to wait. However, the shop turned out to be a traditional Japanese sweets shop. I bought a delicious "Mame Daifuku" for 180 yen and enjoyed it outside the shop. The Mame Daifuku was moist, not too sweet, and the beans added a nice touch. It was a pleasant surprise and a tasty treat.

This is a long-established Japanese confectionery shop located near Fushimi Inari. I decided to try their famous rice cakes, and purchased a chestnut daifuku and a strawberry daifuku. The strawberry daifuku was deliciously simple as expected, but the chestnut daifuku had a lot of chestnut pieces inside and was surprisingly tasty! The daifuku was very soft, with a nice touch of saltiness and high Kyoto quality. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

I stopped by here on my way back from Fushimi Inari Taisha. The atmosphere of the shop and the old lady working there was really charming. I bought the limited-time chestnut daifuku, one for 200 yen, and the chestnut steamed yokan, three for 200 yen. The chestnut daifuku is only available on the same day, while the chestnut steamed yokan can be enjoyed until the next day. The sweetness of the red bean paste was just right, and the daifuku was soft. The chestnut steamed yokan was also soft and melted in my mouth. It was really delicious. The total came to 800 yen, plus 5 yen for a plastic bag. Thank you for the meal.

This is a traditional Japanese confectionery shop located near Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. After visiting Fushimi Inari, I searched on Tabelog and found a delicious-looking shop nearby. I saw that their Mitarashi dango looked really good, so I decided to go there. The shop is a small traditional Japanese confectionery shop with a lot of history. The lady working there was very kind. It was not crowded when I visited around 2 pm on a weekday, but unfortunately, the Mitarashi dango was sold out! I was told that they usually sell out by noon or 1 pm. They mentioned that you can call ahead to reserve some. They had a variety of mochi-based sweets like Mitarashi dango, tricolor daifuku, salted daifuku, kuzumochi, and warabimochi. I ended up buying the Daifuku with beans for 180 yen. Here is my review: The Daifuku was chewy and the beans had a nice texture. The sweet red bean paste was not too sweet and very delicious. Overall, it was a good experience, although I wish I could have tried the Mitarashi dango. Make sure to go early if you want to try it!

I love Daifuku, so I stopped by after hiking. The store had a traditional Japanese sweets shop feel, so I didn't have high expectations and didn't buy much. But I regretted it once I got home. The mochi was soft and chewy, the beans had a nice texture, and the balance of the sweet red bean paste was perfect. It reminded me of my favorite shop, Demachi Futaba. Turns out, it's a branch of that shop! They have some varieties that Demachi Futaba doesn't have, and there wasn't a long line, so it might be a hidden gem. I'm really regretting not buying more.

In front of Fushimi Inari Shrine, there are many souvenir shops and sweet shops selling traditional Japanese sweets. Among them, this shop has the highest rating on Tabelog. It seems to be a branch of Demachi Futaba. I bought a red bean daifuku and a strawberry daifuku. The red bean daifuku is 180 yen, and the strawberry daifuku is 200 yen. Considering that traditional Japanese sweets have become more expensive recently, these prices may be relatively cheap. The items were sold out at the storefront, but the staff brought them out from the back. I tried the red bean daifuku, and the red beans were slightly firm with a mild saltiness. The daifuku itself was soft and delicious.

On a regular day, I visited Fushimi Inari for personal reasons. Since I was there, I decided to stop by "Inarifutaba" shop. The shop was not crowded, with only one group of customers before me and one group behind me, which was just right. It was about half a year ago, so I remember only a few things vividly... I purchased sakuramochi and daifuku. I don't remember the prices. The daifuku was tasty, but it couldn't beat the one from the related shop "Demachiyanagi Futaba." However, there was a time gap between purchasing and eating, so my judgment may not be accurate. Honestly, I wasn't impressed. The sakuramochi was just a regular red bean paste sakuramochi. Thank you very much. It was a good meal.

I went on a quest for dango, but ended up getting delicious daifuku instead! The daifuku here was so good, I couldn't tell the difference from the original. The dango was also unique with its large and sweet mochi balls, a rare find in Kyoto. It was also delicious!

Many of you may be familiar with the wagashi shop in Fushimi Inari, which was spun off from Demachi Futaba. On this day, I didn't have much time, so I quickly bought what came to mind without hesitation: daifuku with beans, red bean daifuku, strawberry daifuku, yomogi dango, sakura mochi, uguisu mochi... I didn't hesitate, just bought what came to mind... It's probably too much to eat, but I shared it with my family, so we ate all the daifuku that day. The photo shows sakura mochi and uguisu mochi. It's that season~ The taste, of course... delicious. The quality is just different. The mochi, anko, sweetness, and saltiness... perfect. If it were closer, I would probably visit every day. Both the sakura mochi and uguisu mochi were very delicious. Especially the sakura mochi was exceptional. The balance of salted sakura leaves, shiratama, and anko was very good, highly recommended. You don't have to wait in line like at Demachi Futaba, you can buy here without waiting. The friendly old lady with a smile served us. She used an abacus for the bill, and her customer service was very good, making it a pleasant shopping experience. Thank you for the delicious meal. I will come again!
