The store's showcase is decorated with jo-seki sweets that reflect the plants and fruits of the season, and the finished beauty of the sweets makes one sigh in admiration. We also offer Japanese confectionery classes here. The elegant colors and round, gentle images are the characteristics of Kyoto sweets. We hope that you will experience the charm of kyogashi by actually holding the ingredients and tools in your hands," says Ms. Nishizawa.

The store sells dried confections as well as fresh confections. In addition to seasonal motifs and dried confections in the shape of the store's name (rabbit and turtle), the bakery series, which imitates bread, is attracting attention. The colors and textures have a realistic feel and are so cute that you will want to hold them in your hands.

We recently revamped our bakery's dried goods and added flavors," he said. All five flavors are different, such as caramel for the croissant, cinnamon for the bread, and cocoa for the chocolate coronet," he says.

The molds for the dried confections, which are handmade from resin, the design, and even the taste, are all original. Even so, they do not lose the image of Kyoto-style confections, and are elegant in both appearance and taste. We look forward to seeing more new kyogashi created by these two.
