本家西尾八ッ橋
This shop traces itself to 1689, when its founder received the secret recipe from a monk in Yatsuhashi village, Mikawa, and opened a tea house in the Shogoin forest. At the flagship, visitors are welcomed with tea and freshly made yatsuhashi to taste, beside a great gate door given by Shogoin Monzeki. The finest Kaguwashiki Yatsuhashi (¥1,700 including tax for ten) uses Kyoto Koshihikari rice and top-grade sugar, and is sold only here, in limited numbers on the 1st and 15th of each month. A starter pack of four raw yatsuhashi with chunky bean paste costs ¥250 including tax.
