We wandered around Kyoto the following day.
I love traditional Japanese sweets and in Kyoto, it's the best because they are famous for Matcha. After walking around after lunch, we randomly found
Yamagishi, a Japanese cafe run by an old couple.
I love when the Matcha flavor is strong and bitter.
After dinner before heading back to Osaka, we stopped by Nakamura Tokichi Honten inside of Kyoto Station. Their first store opened 150 years ago and they are famous for Uji Tea.
We shared this Uji Parfait (most of which was devoured by me)
and sipped on Matcha Cappuccinos.
Before going back, we made a quick pit stop at
Mochitsukiya Naomasa a traditional confectionery shop that is famous for Warabi Mochi. Warabi Mochi is probably my absolute favorite Japanese dessert so I was dying to try.
This man makes all of his confectioneries at his shop. He was so charming and friendly and it was so cool that he used an abacus!
The 3 in the front are the Warabi Mochi. They are different than other places because these had red bean fillings, but they were so good. The outer warabi just melted and the red bean was the perfect sweetness. Heavenly.
