I can see why they are famous for their warabimochi. It is just delicious. The molasses is quite thick, so we poured a little bit of it over each one.

The atmosphere is like an old house. The warabi mochi flows like a drink. It was delicious.

The matcha green tea strawbutter cake is quite bitter. I ate it with molasses to add sweetness. It was nice to be able to eat it in different ways.

A popular store crowded with tourists. It is probably one of the best in Kyoto in the fields of warabimochi and parfait.

The strawbaked rice cakes are delicious, not to mention the taste. It is no exaggeration to say that I can recommend this store to people of all ages among many stores. It was a very nice store.
