Aoiiya Yakimochi Sohonpo is a specialty of Kamigamo Shrine, recommended as a Kyoto souvenir.
Aoiya Yakimochi Sohonpo is located 0 minutes on foot from Kamigamo Shrine, one of Kyoto’s most famous shrines.
There are several city buses, including the 37 line.
And surprisingly, there is a parking lot for three cars, so you can quickly go buy yakimochi by car,
So, the name of the shop is also in the name of the store.
As the name suggests, the specialty here is yakimochi.
The yakimochi are made with azuki beans from Hokkaido and Habutae glutinous rice from Shiga Prefecture,
The taste is so ordinary, but everyone is convinced of its deliciousness.
It’s not so bad at all. But I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t like it.

The store is always very busy. I wonder if it is.
Well, I don’t think that many people come on weekdays.
Various sweets other than yakimochi are sold.
Ohagi (rice cakes) are also highly recommended.
For those who don’t like sweets, sekihan (red rice) is also available.
This is “Yakimochi”. As you can see, it is baked.
There are two kinds of yakimochi.One is white rice cake and the other is mugwort flavor.
They are grilled on a teppan and served hot.
125 yen per piece. A quick and easy specialty.
The savory aroma and the moderate sweetness of the red bean paste are the best match.
If you want to buy it as a souvenir of Kyoto, it is said that it is better to heat it lightly once in a toaster.
Well, that’s true, isn’t it?
It is a taste that will keep you coming back for more.
Popular sweets in Kyoto are usually lightly sweet and delicious.
I have heard that the basic level of sweetness in Japanese sweets is the sweetness of persimmon,
That may be the limit of the level of sweetness that is not too strong.
This may be the secret to survive in the not-so-sweet Kyoto sweets industry.
