鍵善良房 四条本店
Kagizen Yoshifusa began in the Kyoho era of the Edo period and has never left Gion since. The official site says it has made Kyoto sweets in a corner of the entertainment district ever since, serving tea masters, monks, literary guests of the teahouses and women of the district. Its signature Kikuju-to uses only Awa wasanbon sugar: chrysanthemum-shaped dry sweets from the Chinese tale of Kikujido, twenty in a paper box for ¥1,700, with an AWA version taking wasanbon to its limit (five in a wooden box, ¥3,000). At the Shijo flagship, don't only buy sweets — the tea room serves the famous kuzukiri, opening at 10:00, no reservations.
