聖護院八ッ橋総本店

The shop's official site dates the birth of yatsuhashi to 1689. Its signature Sei began as a sweet served at a 1960 tea gathering in Gion, a raw yatsuhashi filled with strained bean paste; in 1967 it switched to chunky bean paste and took its triangular shape. All the chunky paste is cooked in-house from carefully selected Hokkaido azuki beans. The iris-shaped Seigo-in Kakitubata is finished one by one by hand and sold only at this shop and the Kumano shop. Sei (10 pieces) costs ¥756; a bag of 24 yatsuhashi costs ¥540.
