Honke Nishio Yatsuhashi Kiyomizu Store — Local services in Kyoto

If you want to experience the deliciousness of yatsuhashi, you have to visit the Honke Nishio shop at Kiyomizu.

I can't get over the broad range of flavors of the soft yatsuhasi that they offer. Chocolate, caramel, apple, banana-chocolate, black sesame, just to name a few. Ramune is even a flavour. You can sample them all in this shop. I'm partial to the hard cinnamon cracker version of yatsuhashi, and they have a couple of varieties of those as well.

The shop was crazy busy and lively when we visited, but we were served quickly, and I was able to try the samples I wanted to. At the front of the store, you can order smaller sample packs of the soft yatsuhashi and ice cream cones. Probably great street traffic business for those.

What more can you say.... Highly...

I went to Kiyomizu-dera and my friend told me that their matcha ice cream is one of a kind so I order the first matcha ice cream tenant when I went out from the temple.

I find that the tenant is so busy with the tourist but I have to take my chance. They have several menu for the ice cream but I go with the original one that I want, matcha ice cream.

I found heaven and fall matcha more than ever. I find that the bittersweet of the matcha is balancing out without having too bitter or too sweet.

You guys definitely have to try it once when you cisit Kiyomizu-dera. The tenant also have other authentic snacks and gifts that you...
