01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Behind the noren in a quiet residential pocket of Nagaokakyo, the showcase at Tsujiyama Kyuyoudo immediately draws the eye to its signature genjimaki, rolled into charming spiral rounds. The sweet wraps a core of smooth white bean paste in a thin sheet of firm yokan jelly, striking an appealing contrast between crisp bite and moist, delicate sweetness. Several variations are available, including pieces vibrantly tinted with seasonal ingredients. Offered individually or packed into assortments of 3 kinds, they work just as well for an everyday treat as for an elegant gift.
Alongside the genjimaki, the fragrant okaki and arare rice crackers are well worth exploring. Sold by weight even in small quantities, they give visitors the freedom to select a customized assortment. Moving back and forth between the refined sweetness of genjimaki and the satisfying crunch of savory crackers brings a comforting rhythm to teatime.
The shop has an unhurried, welcoming atmosphere where you can browse at leisure while chatting with the owner. It is an easy stop to fold into a stroll between neighborhood shrines and temples, offering a moment to savor unassuming, carefully made traditional sweets.
