とらや 京都一条店

Toraya was founded in Kyoto in the late Muromachi period and has made wagashi for five centuries. Its chronology records service to the Imperial Palace from 1586, and the Kyoto Ichijo shop stands on a site in use since before 1628. Its yokan starts with cooking beans into a dedicated paste, then slowly kneading it with agar and sugar — the degree of kneading is judged by the eyes of skilled artisans. The tiger-striped Senri no Kaze is sold only at the Akasaka and Kyoto Ichijo shops (¥2,160). Small yokan (five pieces) costs ¥1,782 including tax; the official site has an English online store.
