Gion Tokuya is a popular sweets shop located on Hanamikoji Street in Gion, Kyoto. What I got here was a combination of warabimochi and honkuzumochi. Honkuzumochi is made from high-quality Japanese bracken starch and has a simmering texture. Thanks to the ice, you can keep it cold all the time and use it as shaved ice at the end. Cool sweets perfect for this time of year.

Terakoya Honpo Arashiyama Togetsubashi store on the Arashiyama Togetsubashi side of Kyoto. What I received on this day was a gorgeous dumpling (right), right? Dango (left). The gorgeous dango is an autumn-like combination of chestnuts, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, and black sesame seeds. An interesting naming mystery? The dango is pistachio chocolate framboise. Taking a picture with Togetsu Bridge in the background gives a good impression of Arashiyama.

The fabric is chewy! The bean paste is fluffy! It's a bit different from the Dora-yaki I've eaten so far. There is a wide variety of flavors, and this time we chose 4 of them! ︎ "Matcha x Strawberry" is for a limited time. It's small and delicious enough to make you want to eat many.

The taiyaki dough is a whipped meringue dough that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The characters "ma" and "me" are added to the front and back of the Taiyaki, which has a round shape, further doubling the cuteness. Come along with a break for sightseeing in Arashiyama.

The sweet shop is at Sannen zaka slope which leads to Kiyomizu temple. The Mitarashi dango (a dumpling covered with kuzu sauce seasoned with soy sauce and sugar) is good for people tired from walking on the slope. Because it is not big, I can eat 5 sticks. And a fresh warm one is exceptional.

Purchased water Marumochiya at Marumochiya near Fushimi Inari, Kyoto. 1180 yen for 3 pieces. I picked up fallen leaves and acorns near my house to color the autumn.

Kaikaro in Higashi chaya-gai. They refuse the first time customers for Ozashiki (tatami mat room) at night, but you can look in the house and enter the café at day time. I recommend you a 'golden kuzukiri'. Both of the looks and taste are very gorgeous.

Kazari-kan is the new taste Japanese sweet. Based on a traditional azuki-bean sweet 'yokan', they match excellently with herbs and fruits that seem to be out of keeping with yokan. Sweets with the seasonal foodstuffs of Kyoto such as a winter 'yuzu' citron are all delicious and I think only such a long established shop could make them!
