Nice wonderful Western-style cafe Nagarakukan in Maruyama Park, Kyoto. Sakura Eklan is a limited-time sweet only in spring. It's made of yuzu sauce, chocolate-painted, and embroidered with a cherry blossom-colored candy. The staff made it in front of me.

"Degrineson" is to make the best use of one ingredient by various cooking methods. It's a matcha "degrineson", so it's a sweet made with matcha. The Kyomachiya Renovation shop in Gion, Kyoto, enjoyed delicious matcha sweets in a cozy Japanese space that feels like you are in a lounge.

A sweets shop in the preservation area of Kyoto Machiya. The interior of the store is full of the atmosphere of Gion. The famous warabi mochi is 100% bracken starch made that day. It's so thick that it's difficult to lift it with chopsticks, and when you eat it, it's plump. It melts in the mouth. Matcha Warabimochi has a rich matcha flavor and is even more delicious when eaten with black honey. Kimono and exquisite warabi mochi are the best match.

A cute Taiyaki-san who is particular about bean paste, dough, sardines and butter. I like bean paste, so choose it. 390yen It seems to be the most popular. My friend is Banana Custard 350yen. Be careful that the butter melts because the butter is left behind. Even the dough was too delicious.
