There is a famous ohagi shop called Tomoya located west of Toji Temple in Kyoto. I used to buy from there often, but it had been about 3 years since I last visited. They offer two types of ohagi: one with whole adzuki beans and another with soybean flour. The ohagi is simple and delicious, like something made by a nostalgic old lady. As always, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

#Delicious Ohagi shop recommended by a taxi driver#Ohagi Tomoe-ya. This small shop located on the west side of To-ji Temple sells ohagi for 150 yen each. The ohagi was delicious. The sticky rice had a nice texture, the sweet bean paste was elegant and I especially liked the roasted soybean flour topping. It's popular with kids too. It's no wonder that in Kyoto, where traditional Japanese sweets are highly regarded, only delicious ones are popular. I had a great experience at this ohagi shop and would love to come back for more. Thank you for the meal!

I recently got into Japanese sweets, so after having a satisfying lunch at Okamoto Shokudo, I searched on Tabelog and found this place. I passed by the shop around 1:30 pm on a weekday, and since it didn't seem crowded, I entered hesitantly. When I called out "excuse me," a person with stylish round glasses came out from inside! They had a gentle demeanor and were very nice! There were about 5 pieces of ohagi left, so I bought one of each. When I got home, my wife and I tried them right away! The not-too-sweet red bean paste and slightly salty mochi rice were a perfect match!! This is delicious! I could eat as many as I want at this quality for only 150 yen! Kyoto's traditional Japanese sweets are truly delicious! I will definitely come back to buy more when I'm in the area again! Thank you for the meal.

I had been interested in this shop for a while, and today I finally made my first purchase. I stopped by on my way to visit Toji Temple and Rokusonno Shrine, but they were sold out of the kinako flavor, so I ended up with just the anko (sweet red bean paste) flavor. I ate it at home later, and the mochi rice was chewy and the anko had just the right amount of sweetness. The balance was really good, and it was so delicious that I regretted not buying another one.

On the 21st of every month, it's Horyu-san's Day. There are many people visiting Toji temple from the morning. They line up at this shop to buy ohagi. It has a light sweet bean paste filling with kinako powder. Inside the ohagi, there are also whole beans. The comforting taste is much appreciated. It has been featured in the media.

Visited 16 shrines for Goshuin stamps and stopped by on the way back from Rokusonno Shrine for a walk. Today's snack was kinako ohagi. I love the sweet bean paste here (*^^*) Tomoya is located in front of the west gate of Toji Temple, on the west side of Sanjo Street. If the curtain is up, they are open for business.

☆ Lunch trip with my wife! [Kyoto City, Toji Temple]‼️⇒ I am grateful to the late former owner's grandmother who developed and cooked this ohagi♪: There is no parking lot, so please use a nearby coin parking. $ Order!＊ "Ohagi (anko)" 150 yen (tax included)... 4.5 "Ohagi (kinako)" 150 yen... 4.8: Cheers to the consistently perfect deliciousness! The sweetness of the filling, the ultimate balance with the mochi rice inside is irresistible! And the milky flavor that spreads in your mouth as always. Regarding "kinako," the milky flavor is even stronger, making it my favorite♪ And both do not make you feel heavy in the stomach, so be careful as you may end up eating 3 or 4 in one go.〆 "Summary": As always, "ohagi" remains my number one. Even with the price increase from 130 yen to 150 yen in this day and age, it remains unchanged! It is very grateful that they have passed on the deliciousness intact to the next generation. They open at 10 am and close when sold out, so please visit early.♪ Thank you very much for always liking, saving the restaurant, and following. I would be very happy to receive comments, questions, etc.♪ Please continue to support us in the future. ===========

Next to Toji Temple, there is a popular Ohagi shop called Tomoya. A kind man with a gentle smile will serve you from a small window. Behind the man, there is an elderly lady diligently making Ohagi! Her homemade warm Ohagi is exquisite. I ate it before taking a photo, but you can choose from sweet bean paste or soybean flour, and it only costs 150 yen per piece, which is a great deal! Whether you eat it hot or cold, it's delicious. This is a highly recommended shop. I hope they continue to thrive.

I stopped by a shop near To-ji Temple in Kyoto's Kujo area today to try some handmade ohagi. Ohagi-ya is a shop that sells ohagi, with two types available: red bean paste and soybean flour. You can buy them individually for 150 yen each. The size of the ohagi is slightly larger, with visible azuki beans and rice grains, giving it a homemade feel. The mochi rice is soft and has a fun texture. The red bean paste ohagi is slightly larger in size, with visible azuki beans and rice grains, giving it a homemade feel. The mochi rice is soft and has a fun texture. The soybean flour ohagi has a three-layer structure of red bean paste, mochi rice, and soybean flour. The aroma of soybean flour is strong, and when you chew, the mochi rice breaks apart nicely in your mouth. It has a homemade feel and tastes delicious. It seems like many regular customers buy ohagi when they visit To-ji Temple for prayers.

☆Mrs. San and a Casual Sweets Trip (Kyoto, Toji Temple)!: It has been almost 3 years since I last visited this shop that I have been a regular at. Ordered! * "Ohagi (Kinako)" 130 yen... 4.0: As always, the ohagi here is the best! The harmony of "kinako," "mochi rice," and "anko" is exquisite. When you take a bite, a milky sensation spreads in your mouth. The size is small, but it adds to the perfect balance! Kinako, anko, mochi rice create a milky texture! Sounds exaggerated? But that's how it feels! * "Ohagi (Anko)" 130 yen... 3.8: Personally, I prefer the kinako flavor, but this one is also very delicious! You can taste the sweetness without it being too overpowering. Another great balance. Delicious! Conclusion: I have yet to find ohagi that surpasses this one. I would love some recommendations! ・The usual grandma wasn't there. It seemed like her grandchild was the one making the ohagi. According to the grandchild, the grandma passed away two years ago at the age of 102. Amazing! She was still eating "beefsteak" for dinner the day before. Grandma, thank you for the delicious ohagi all this time. Rest in peace. Thank you for always liking, saving the shop, and following. If you have any comments, questions, etc., please feel free to write them. ・Thank you all for your continued support.

There is a popular handmade ohagi shop near To-ji Temple in Kyoto that opens at 10 am, but sells out by lunchtime. The ohagi is delicious with a not-too-sweet filling and a soft, chewy mochi made from quality rice. Nearby, To-ji Temple hosts a flea market with lots of hidden treasures to discover.

There are many traditional Japanese confectionery shops in Kyoto, but there is a unique shop called "Tomoe-ya" that stands out from the rest. Unlike the well-known shops that focus on smoothness, "Tomoe-ya" finishes their sweets with a rough texture. They do not emphasize sweetness too much and instead aim for a balanced taste with a hint of salt. The shop itself has a simple and unassuming atmosphere, reminiscent of the homemade "ohagi" that grandmothers used to make. When you enter through the narrow sliding door, you will find only two types of products: "ohagi" and "ohagi with roasted soybean flour." The prices are very reasonable, and I hope that this kind of shop will continue to thrive for a long time.

On the first Sunday of the month, my husband and I went to the "Garakuta Market" at Toji Temple. There were fewer people than in March, maybe because of the rain forecast in the afternoon. The market itself was not crowded, but the parking lot was full of cars with license plates from other prefectures. The cherry blossoms were blooming early this year, and even Toji Temple had mostly cherry blossom trees with few leaves. Despite the lack of people at the market, there seemed to be more visitors for sightseeing. We left from the west gate and bought some ohagi at "Ohagi no Tomoya" on our way back. The shop was quiet, unlike before the pandemic when there were long lines and sold out items on Sundays. The taste of the ohagi was average, but we love the warmth of these handmade treats. We also got the rare "kinako" flavor on this day. We enjoyed a relaxing tea time at home. Thank you for the meal. Ohagi no Tomoya is located near the west gate of Toji Temple. If you see a large curtain hanging outside, it means they are open. Only one group is allowed inside at a time, and there are plastic sheets for splash prevention at the counter. They provide alcohol disinfection as well.

The shop near Toji Temple may be a little hard to find. The shop is small, with only enough space for two people, and they only offer takeout. There is no menu, you just choose between kinako (roasted soybean flour) or anko (sweet red bean paste), and decide how many pieces you want of each. The kinako has a subtle soybean flavor and a hint of sweetness, with the anko having a smooth texture similar to koshian (fine red bean paste) due to the reduced moisture content. Both have elegant flavors, making them a good choice for gifts.

I went to a hidden gem of an ohagi shop in Kyoto and decided to do a taste comparison. The famous ohagi shop in Kyoto, often featured on TV, sells one piece for 200 yen, which is about 20g lighter than the ones from Tomaya, where each piece costs 130 yen. Tomaya's rice is soft and moist, giving it a nice texture. They offer only anko (sweet red bean paste) and kinako (roasted soybean flour), but it's more than enough. The kinako, especially, is natural and delicious without any added ingredients. The anko is slightly sweet with a good chewiness from the whole beans. Tomaya's ohagi was definitely the best in Kyoto.

I bought some ohagi from Tabaya, located west of Toji Temple, for the first time in a long time. I think the last time I had it was about 10 years ago. I don't remember what it tasted like at all. I bought one with sweet bean paste and two with soybean flour for less than 500 yen, so it's cheap. The taste is subtly sweet and good. I would like to buy it again when I'm nearby.

I visited the store around 11:00 on Sunday. I bought 2 pieces of anko and 1 piece of kinako for a total of 390 yen. It's a popular place, but luckily there was no line so I could easily make my purchase. Lucky me! ★ Anko 130 yen A slightly sweet, traditional anko with a satisfying texture. It felt a bit bigger than expected and was very satisfying. ★ Kinako 130 yen The kinako had a slightly less sweet taste compared to the anko, which was delicious. I was also very satisfied with this one. I think I'll buy more kinako next time. It was so delicious that I might become addicted to it...

If you're looking to introduce a ohagi shop in Kyoto, I recommend "Ohagi Tomoe-ya" shop. The shop is located north of the Keihan Kokusai-dori exit, one traffic light to the west in a small house. I have been going there for over ten years and buy ohagi a few times a year. The ohagi here is large, moderately sweet, and delicious. Please try it once. You will surely be impressed.

Today, while I was out buying lunch, I stopped by a shop called "Ohagi Tomoeya" on the west side of Toji Temple. It seems to be a popular shop known for its handmade ohagi. The shop is tucked away in a residential area along the Toji Nishimon Street. The interior is small, about one to two tatami mats in size, and they only sell two types of ohagi: with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and with sweet bean paste. They make the ohagi fresh each day and once they sell out, the shop closes. I decided to buy both types of ohagi and take them home. The ohagi was warm and you could tell it was freshly made. It had a nice balance between the rice grains and sweet bean paste, giving it a satisfying texture. The one with plenty of kinako sprinkled on top had a triple-layered structure of sweet bean paste, sticky rice, and kinako. It had a good balance of flavors, not too sweet, and the kinako added a nice touch. At 130 yen per piece, it's an affordable and enjoyable treat.

【Hidden Gem O-hagi Shop】We are currently in the midst of an o-hagi boom at home. We tried purchasing from major shops like Tanbaya and Kofukudo, but we were looking for a unique o-hagi shop... Located near the Higashi-Temple, close to my hometown, this shop was small and unassuming. Upon entering through a small entrance, there was enough space for one group of customers to order, and each o-hagi was priced at 130 yen, which was quite reasonable!! The balance of mochi rice and red beans was exquisite, and the o-hagi was incredibly delicious.
