Hello, everyone. Sometime has passed since the beginning of August, but how are you doing? Hot days have continued every day. The sky is blue, but it is trouble to walk around under the too active sun illuminating the ground. So, today, I’d like to introduce Japanese sweets just suited to hot summer days.

Here such Kyoto sweets are sold.
It is Tawaraya Yoshitomi (Today, I’ll introduce its Ogawa shop).

Tawaraya Yoshitomi is a long-established Kyoto sweets store established in 1775, selling a variety of Kyoto sweets. First of all, one of the most well-known representative confections is called “Unryu” (cloud dragon).

“Unryu” (972 yen)

It is a batter called “Muraume-an” and is made up to the confectionary with unique appearance rolled of Ogura-an (sweet bean paste).

This is a masterpiece created by Tawaraya Yoshitomi’s seventh generation confectioner, Ishihara Ryujiro, who was impressed by the “Cloud Dragon” (by Kano Toshun) owned by Shokokuji Temple in Kyoto, and expressed the strength and grandeur of a dragon in his confectionery.

“Unryu” each handmade by craftsmen has a unique and deep flavor, and is still loved by people today.

And here is a seasonal and original Kyoto sweets that is unique to the summer season.

This is Tawaraya Yoshitomi’s original creative yokan, a summer sweet that makes you feel cool just by looking at it. I felt it wasteful (but I ate it deliciously).

Oh, it not only for confections. The Tawaraya Yoshitomi Ogawa store is also adjacent to a sweet shop called “Salon Tawaraya.”

A short walk down the alley leading from the entrance…

There are a variety of sweets available, but this time I ordered this one.

Shiratama Uji KintokiShiratame Uji Kintoki (990 yen)

Look at this shaved ice. This shaved ice is huge, but very fluffy and mouthwatering is perfect for the hot summer. Moreover, they were courteous enough to provide hot tea, which stuck a perfect balance between cold and warm. The hot tea warmed my cold body a little and brought it to just the right body temperature. It was delicious.
