Mitarashi dango

Mitarashi dango is a confectionary that originated in Kyoto and has been popular in Japan since ancient times.
It is first thought to have been served to participants in mitarashi-moude (a type of purification ceremony) at Kyoto’s Shimogamo Shrine, and this is where it gets its name.
It has become popular across the country for its great flavor.
The white balls are made from rice that is baked unglazed. Please enjoy them by applying lightly-flavored sweet soy sauce.
If you prefer, they are also delicious when covered in sweet soybean flour.
When you visit, please be sure to try mitarashi dango, the quintessential Kyoto confectionery.

Warabimochi

This is another confectionery representative of Kyoto that has been popular in Japan since ancient times. It is made out of starch from a wild, edible plant called “warabi” (pteridium aquilinum) that has been boiled and then chilled. It has a chewy, smooth texture even when chilled and is extremely delicious. Please enjoy this special Kyoto confectionery with flavors such as kinako (sweet soybean flour), matcha (green tea) and more.
