［Mr. Kimoto, the creator of UCHUwagashi, has an unusual background, having previously worked as a graphic designer. He says that he focused his attention on rakugan, a type of Japanese confectionery in which it is easy to express design in a form. The rakugan, which is carefully handcrafted while keeping an eye on daily changes in humidity and temperature, is not only visually appealing but also tastes first-rate.

UCHU wagashi] has an original presence that sets it apart from other long-established wagashi stores in Kyoto. At the renovated store, visitors will be able to enjoy the brand more deeply through workshops and demonstrations of making rakugan.
