A Famous CONFECTIONERY Conveying the Glory of the Toyotomi Family and Delicate Fresh Sweets

A traditional confectioner that has been making Kyoto sweets for 140 years in Nishijin, a textile town. It has a "Myth & History," having branched off from "Shioji-ken," which traces its lineage to Lin Jingyin, who came to Japan from China and is said to have made the first manju in Japan. Located on the street facing the gate of Jurakudai, a splendid residence built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they offered the representative baked sweet "Juraku," which is passed down to this day. "Seasonal Steamed Sweets," treasured in many tea ceremonies since ancient times, are masterpieces that capture the shifting, delicate four seasons of Kyoto.
