Established in 1931, this long-standing shop offers a modern twist on traditional fruit daifuku. Conveniently located near the station with a wide variety of products, making it easy to purchase as souvenirs. Visited on a holiday around 12:30pm with no other customers in sight, making it a quick and easy shopping experience. Purchased orange daifuku, mont blanc daifuku, and mango cream daifuku for a total of ¥1050. Prices for each were around ¥370, ¥350, and ¥330. The orange daifuku is said to be the most popular, so it was a must-try along with other intriguing choices. The daifuku leaned more towards traditional Japanese flavors than expected, being a fruit daifuku from a traditional Japanese confectionery shop. Although delicious, personally prefer a slightly more Western flavor profile. However, taste preferences vary so it's a matter of personal preference. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!

My wife, who was in Nishioin for errands, bought me some Fruit Daifuku from Yoroiken. Last time we went in the afternoon, they were almost sold out, and we were told the next batch would be ready in an hour. But today, we went around the same time and they had most of the varieties available. The female staff member said it was a slow day due to the bad weather. The Daifuku were small but juicy, with slightly sour strawberries and sweet white bean paste, making them incredibly delicious. #Yoroiken #FruitDaifuku #Daifuku #StrawberryDaifuku #MikanDaifuku #Kyoto #KyotoFamousShops #KyotoGourmet #KyotoWagashi #KyotoShopHopping #KyotoOmiya #Napolitan #CheeseNapolitan #DeliciousShopsInKyoto #KyotoGourmet #Kyoto #Yamy #SanjoKaishotenmachi #MatsukoShiranaiSekai #Cats #CatsofInstagram #Pancetta #CatLovers #Mikan #WhiteBeanPaste #Pinchos #CatsOfInstagram #CatsOfTheWorld

After having lunch at Sanjo-kai, we walked to Nishin, to Yoroiken to buy the recommended orange daifuku by my mother-in-law. We arrived a little after 1 PM, and although the fruit daifuku was available, the strawberry daifuku that we wanted to buy together was sold out in all varieties. The next batch would be ready in an hour. When we asked the staff, they explained that they make a lot at the opening, but they sell out quickly by lunchtime due to their popularity. While we were there, customers kept coming in non-stop. The daifuku was incredibly sweet and juicy, so delicious! Now I want to try the strawberry daifuku too.

The female owner of this long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto was the first woman to win the prestigious title of "Tomorrow's Master Craftsman." The media has also featured their delicious fruit daifuku, with flavors like mandarin orange and strawberry. I bought a baked Mont Blanc with three flavors: chestnut, sweet potato, and black soybean matcha.

Yoroiken, located near Saiin Station, is known for their fruit daifuku. I purchased some for home use. The strawberry daifuku (380 yen), mandarin orange daifuku (370 yen), and chestnut matcha daifuku (300 yen) are all impressive. The quality of the daifuku is fine and elegant, similar to the hassaku daifuku from Hassaku-ya in Hiroshima's Innoshima. The mandarin oranges and strawberries are fresh, with a good balance of juice and acidity that complements the daifuku well. The chestnut matcha daifuku, wrapped in chestnut and matcha, and further enveloped in mochi, is a result of trial and error. The balance of chestnut, matcha, and mochi is perfect, with the chestnut flavor and matcha spread throughout the daifuku. This would make a great souvenir. The combination of fruit and daifuku is excellent. Although it exceeds 300 yen, I would love to treat myself to it on weekends. I also received "Okanemochi Arare" for the New Year. I don't need to become wealthy, but maintaining an income that allows me to enjoy hiking and gourmet travel moderately would make me happy.

Today, I stopped by a fruit daifuku shop in Nishioin. ■ Kashokukashi Yorouken Established in 1931. It seems to be a traditional Japanese confectionery shop with origins in Yoro, Gifu Prefecture. I have visited once before (^-^) Inside the shop, there were over 10 different types of fruit daifuku lined up. Fresh daifuku using seasonal fruits seems to be popular. Some popular daifuku may sell out by the morning. This time, I purchased two daifuku. They provided a cooling pack so I could take them home. I will enjoy them as a snack. ● Orange Daifuku This seems to be the most popular among Yorouken's fresh fruit daifuku. An orange wrapped in mochi. The thin mochi stretches and has a chewy texture. The combination of sweet mochi and the sweetness of the fruit is delightful. ● Strawberry Daifuku This also seems to be a popular item. A whole strawberry wrapped in mochi. What a fresh and juicy strawberry. I was able to enjoy the combination of juicy strawberries and sweet mochi. This would make a great gift for someone (^-^)

After enjoying a delicious curry in Kyoto's Nishijin area, I stumbled upon a traditional Japanese sweets shop nearby. This shop, called "Yoroiken," has been around for 91 years and is known for its elegant Kyoto-style sweets created by a female artisan who was the first woman to be selected as a "Master of Tomorrow." They have been popular for their strawberry and orange daifuku even before fruit daifuku became a trend. They value tradition while also incorporating new ideas, creating seasonal sweets that reflect Japanese customs and events. I tried their orange daifuku for 370 yen and their plum wine daifuku for 330 yen. The orange daifuku, a juicy fruit daifuku made with special white bean paste and a whole ripe orange, was their top seller. The plum wine daifuku, recommended by the shop owner, was a unique adult dessert made by removing the pit from a plum soaked in plum wine, filling it with cream cheese, and wrapping it in mochi. The large Kishu Nanko plum had a strong plum wine flavor and was delicious. They also had other interesting fruit daifuku like cassis chocolate, cream cheese, pineapple, and lemon cream, as well as an "Italian manju" with tomato. The quality of the white bean paste and mochi from this established Japanese sweets shop was evident, far superior to convenience store sweets. Mochi really does taste better when made by a mochi shop! Thank you for the wonderful treats!

This is a chilled Kyoto zenzai that you need to thaw. After thawing, the mochi is soft and very easy to eat! It's chewy! Also, the sweetness is mild and very delicious! It's a gentle zenzen that you can keep eating one after another. I want to visit the store next time.

Today, I had lunch in Nishijin. I arrived a little earlier than the opening time of the restaurant I was aiming for, so I went shopping nearby. I came to Yoroiken, famous for their fruit daifuku. After much deliberation among the various options, I chose the orange daifuku, while my partner chose the plum daifuku. The orange daifuku I had was incredibly juicy, with just the right amount of sweetness and delicious. The mochi was also chewy and had a great texture! Recently, there has been an oversaturation of fruit daifuku shops, which was a bit off-putting, but after eating at this delicious shop, I realized that fruit daifuku is still amazing. I also tried a bite of my partner's plum sake-filled plum daifuku, which had a refreshing plum taste and a rich cream cheese flavor that was quite addictive. The trend seems to be continuing! Thank you for the meal!

I went to Yoroen after a long time. On this day, I bought Mikan Daifuku, Mont Blanc Daifuku, and some other flavors. The staff recommended eating the Mikan Daifuku first, followed by the Mont Blanc Daifuku, and I followed their advice. It was the right choice! Eating them in that order allowed me to fully enjoy the juicy and fruity taste of the mikan. They have different fruit daifuku depending on the season, so it's always exciting to visit.

At Hankyu Nishi-Iin Station, at the north exit, there is a Japanese sweets shop right across the road. I bought some desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth. The Chocolate Strawberry Daifuku (370 yen) has chocolate inside the strawberry daifuku. The chocolate is not the melting type, but has a soft texture and the amount is not too much, so the taste is not too strong. The Matcha Strawberry Daifuku (370 yen) has matcha bean paste inside. The combination of the sweet and sourness of the strawberry and the slight bitterness of the matcha creates a delicious balance of sweetness and mild bitterness, like green tea. The daifuku skin is smooth and not too stretchy, making it easy to eat. Also, the small size allows you to enjoy different flavors even when eating alone. Although the price is a bit high for the size, it's a good choice for buying souvenirs near the station.

I have repeated visiting this place many times! The types of fruit daifuku they offer vary depending on the season. On this day, they had orange daifuku, so I tried it and the juicy orange filling matched perfectly with the thin mochi. I forgot to take a picture that day, but I also bought chestnut zenzai as a souvenir!

This is a traditional Japanese confectionery shop located about a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Nishinomiya Station. The shop has a traditional atmosphere. I bought their popular item, the orange daifuku (370 yen). It was juicy, with orange juice coming out from the inside. The skin is thin and soft, with white bean paste inside, but it's not overly sweet. It's a simple and delicious fruit daifuku.

Yoroeken, a popular shop located a 2-3 minute walk from Saiin Station, offers fruit daifuku packed with fresh fruits. Established in 1931, this long-standing Japanese confectionery shop is known for its Shine Muscat Yumebudo Daifuku and Mango Cream Daifuku. The location right by the station makes it convenient for a quick stop when transferring trains in Saiin. The daifuku are filled with large, juicy fruits, with a perfect balance of sweetness from the mochi. Whether you love fruit-based sweets or traditional Japanese confections, be sure to visit this shop. Bon appétit!

I'm not sure which visit it was, but the fruit daifuku here is the most delicious. I've been wanting to eat it for a while now, but it seems to sell out by around 4 pm, so I couldn't go on weekdays. Finally, I was able to go. I also wanted to eat pears, but according to the shopkeeper, figs may not be in stock depending on the weather, so I chose figs. I also got some muscat grapes. I should have chosen figs and pears. I failed to cut the fig, so here's a photo before opening it. Both fruits were so sweet, not losing to the sweet bean paste, and the outer layer was so soft that it melted. It was the best. I want to go again.

I have been here several times, and it's always delicious. Fruit daifuku is a trendy sweet, but here it's not just for the photos - the fruit is really delicious and packed inside the daifuku. It's very satisfying to eat and truly delicious!!!

On Father's Day, I received a gift from my child, which was "Kyoto Yorakuken Chilled Kyoto Zenzai (6 pieces)!" I was moved to tears. This chilled zenzai is a traditional Kyoto sweet with a lot of Japanese spirit. It consists of award-winning "anko" as a base, with shiratama (rice flour dumplings), chestnut paste, whipped cream, and other toppings. I let it thaw a bit before digging in. It was delicious! This fruit daifuku from Yorakuken in Nishikyo is a Kyoto specialty that combines tradition with a modern touch. Highly recommended!

It was my first visit to a traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Nishijin, Kyoto. I arrived just before 2pm on a holiday and there was quite a line. The shop has been featured on TV and is known for being frequented by celebrities. I purchased the following items: - Orange Daifuku - White Bean Paste Strawberry Daifuku - White Grape Dream Grape Daifuku - Kiwi Fruit Daifuku I tried the strawberry daifuku first. Even though it was the end of the season, the strawberries were juicy and paired well with the smooth white bean paste. The most popular item, the orange daifuku, looked like a flower petal when cut open and tasted sweet with a nice balance of mochi and acidity. The kiwi fruit daifuku was surprisingly firm. They also had some unique varieties of daifuku that I would like to try next time. Thank you for the delicious treats.

I visited a friend's family home, which was built at the end of the Taisho era, in a wonderful mansion neighborhood. On the way back, I stopped by a shop to bring some snacks. The shop is often featured in magazines and on TV, so I was curious about it. Since there were few fruits available at this time, there were not many fruit daifuku. I chose the most popular mikan (mandarin orange), the classic strawberry, and a unique one - yuzu shichimi (Japanese spice blend) daifuku. My friend's family home is an old Japanese-Western hybrid house, and it requires a lot of maintenance. I have visited and stayed there many times, as I love that house. The lighting fixtures on the ceiling, which were imported from Europe by sea freight, are beautiful. I ate the mikan daifuku in the spacious reception room with a dome-shaped ceiling. It was neatly sliced and delicious, with the ripe mikan providing sweetness and a hint of acidity, blended with the mochi, white bean paste, and mikan juice. I bought only one to take home. The yuzu shichimi daifuku was interesting - a combination of daifuku with shichimi spice. It had white bean paste in the center, pink bean paste on the outside, and a sprinkle of chili pepper. When I ate it, the fragrance of yuzu, the green zest in the white bean paste, and the spicy shichimi blended well. It was delicious. I thought my friend, who likes spicy food, would enjoy it. Since it's located near Hankyu Nishinomiya Station, I might stop by to buy souvenirs when I go to Osaka by train.

Yoroen in Nishii, Kyoto City Nakagyo-ku (Keifuku Saiin). ♡ Strawberry Daifuku ♡ Orange Daifuku. The balance of fruit and white bean paste is still good, and the size is small and easy to eat. #Yoroen #Saiin #Shijo Street #Nishioji Street #Nishioji Shijo #Japanese sweets #Daifuku #Fruit Daifuku #Strawberry Daifuku #Orange Daifuku #Takeout #Sweets #Kyoto Sweets #Kyoto Gourmet #Kyoto Food Tour #Sweets Guy #Aiueman #Aiueman Sweets. ↓ Aiueman Sweets Summary ↓ #Aiueman Sweets ↓ Aiueman Kyoto Gourmet Summary ↓ #Aiueman Kyoto Gourmet
