A long-established Kyoto confectionery store near Nijo Castle where Kyoto sweets are full of playfulness [Nijo Wakasaya Main Store]
Founded in the early Taisho era (1912-1926) by the founder, who once aspired to be a painter. His passion as a "hobbyist confectioner" who wanted to convey both the taste and enjoyment that can be seen in his famous confections, Iekiimo, has been passed down to the present day.
One such confection that shows off the playful spirit is the Tororo (Japanese grated yam) bun featuring a tortoiseshell cat and a pheasant tiger, which is only available at the main store.
Mike" and "Tiger" are wrapped with Koshi An (sweet red bean paste) and brown sugar An (sweet red bean paste), respectively. Enjoy the cute, rounded shape of these buns with both the eyes and the tongue.
