To Zaramesama. We are a specialty cotton candy shop. They offer high-end cotton candy for 800 yen each, larger than a person's head with a unique texture. On this day, I tried the strawberry cotton candy and yuzu juice.

★ The cotton candy stick of the cotton candy of Wata Akari Hana (strawberry) uses bamboo from Kyoto. It seems that they use the bamboo thinned out to maintain the bamboo forest, so you can enjoy the Kyoto atmosphere in appearance. This time, since it's the delicious season of strawberries, I tried the strawberry flavor. It's sweet and the taste is undeniably delicious. The bag illustration gives off a Kyoto vibe and looks stylish, which is nice. Thank you for the meal. The cotton candy is big and fluffy, so it was quite difficult to eat. But it was so delicious that the effort was totally worth it. Zarame is a Kyoto cotton candy specialty store located in Saga Arashiyama, Kyoto. They create cotton candy with a Japanese taste by developing their own unique flavors from sugar that bring out the Kyoto ingredients. By the way, the ingredients mainly include Kyoto-grown matcha and Tamba-grown kinako, using mainly domestic ingredients. The cotton candy stick is made from bamboo thinned out in Kyoto, so it might be nice to take it home as a souvenir.

The cotton candy was very large and eye-catching. I ordered it because it's Instagram-worthy. It's a bit pricey, so the cost performance is not great, but it was cute and delicious! You can choose from various colors, so it's nice to order based on your favorite color or the color of your kimono! However, it was really big, so we shared half of it between two people.

When I was a child, every time I went to the summer festival, I would see cotton candy packed in bags with characters like Pokemon and Doraemon and I would always want one (lol). Cotton candy seems to be a dream for children. However, cotton candy is not just a dream for children. Even as an adult, I still admire and enjoy delicious cotton candy. This shop offers cotton candy with unique flavors more geared towards adults, such as "Hojicha Latte" (pictured, 700 yen), "Kyoto Matcha Latte", and "Sakura Milk". The texture that melts in your mouth and the gentle sweetness that spreads are amazing. The cotton candy is beautifully colored and made with organic ingredients. A fun fact is that the cotton candy is so large that it can easily cover one person's face (lol). My partner and I initially planned to buy one each and eat, but after seeing the size of the cotton candy the person in front of us ordered, we decided to share one between the two of us (^^;;). It was the right decision (lol). Additionally, the cotton candy stick is made of bamboo from Kyoto, showing that the shop pays attention to details not only in the taste but also in the materials used. I was impressed by the shop's dedication and spirit.

I visited here after a short walk from Arashiyama Station. I ordered the "Matcha Kin'iro" for takeout. I received a number tag and waited to be called. It took about 10 minutes to receive my order. It was a giant cotton candy larger than my head, covered in sparkling powder.

I was torn between the unusual triangle-shaped packaging with cotton candy in "Strawberry Milk" flavor and "Oni Kinako", but I ended up buying the latter. The cotton candy seems to have a finer texture than any I've had before, and the Oni Kinako flavor is delicious. There are other flavors that catch my interest, so I would like to purchase them again.

I never thought there would come a day when I could eat cotton candy in strawberry milk flavor!!╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ It was so delicious! I really tasted the flavor of strawberry milk♪^ - ^! The shape was also cute, in a triangular bag!! ===========

I went with my daughter! There were many colorful cotton candies, and my daughter chose the normal one. The size was big, so there was a bit of a wait, but it was quite impactful (laughs). There were also matcha and other Kyoto-like items, so it was difficult to choose. However, considering the high price for cotton candy, I took that into account when evaluating.

A couple visited Kyoto together. This time, they started their journey from the western side. They stopped by a cotton candy store they had seen in Nagoya. They entered the store and placed an order at 13:55, and their sweets arrived at 14:05. They ordered a large cotton candy called "Watahachi Tsuji" for 700 yen. It was about 250mm in diameter and 300mm in height, much larger than expected. The cotton candy was layered with kinako and cinnamon flavored Yatsuhashi, resembling candy art. The sweet and fragrant aroma of kinako and cinnamon was delightful. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet, and its light weight made it easy to keep eating. However, be careful as the powder tends to fall off, so it's best to eat it facing downwind. It was wrapped around a bamboo skewer, making it look like eating river fish towards the end.

Went to Amour du Chocolat with my wife and found cotton candy at an event near Gate Mall Tower. Purchased the "Strawberry Milk" flavor for 475 yen. It's a very light cotton candy wrapped in a triangular cone, about 90mm on each side. It doesn't stick much, but melts in your mouth. It doesn't have much scent, but as it melts, the flavor of strawberry milk spreads out. It has a fruity strawberry taste and a creamy milkiness, just like its name suggests. It's not overly sweet, more like a fluffy strawberry milk candy. It lasts for almost two weeks.

Cotton candy specialty store. Visited around 2pm on a weekday. One group of customers ordered the sparkling cotton candy. It took about 15 minutes to make. It seemed like it would take longer if it's crowded. The size was Instagrammable and the kids were delighted. It was satisfying to eat by hand, but the taste was just okay. Still, it's worth buying just for the appearance.

(【Cotton Candy】→ It brought back nostalgic feelings ∧(ё)∧)////Purchase////☆Cotton Candy (Sakura flavor) (used coupon)/////////////////It had a faint scent of cherry blossoms and was delicious (*‘ч`*)♥ It's definitely a "cozy space" without a doubt. +:。(‘ω`*)゜.+:。

"I see, so this kind of flavoring is available now." Recently, after many years, I had cotton candy again. However, this time what I had was not just regular cotton candy, but a cotton candy with a flavor similar to Yatsuhashi, a traditional Japanese sweet. "Hmm? Is that... cotton candy?" While exploring Arashiyama in Kyoto, I saw several people holding large cotton candies in their hands. Although there was no festival happening, I was curious about why so many people were buying them. The answer was found at this shop. The shop specialized in cotton candy, and the cotton candy I saw was from this shop. With a long line of customers outside the shop, I became intrigued and decided to stop by. Besides the plain flavor, they also offered flavors like matcha and cherry blossom. This time, I ordered the "Cotton Yatsuhashi," a large cotton candy covered in kinako powder made from Tamba black beans. Although the kinako powder tended to spill out easily, the flavor was indeed reminiscent of Yatsuhashi, even though it didn't contain cinnamon. As for the "Cotton Hotaru Hana" in strawberry flavor, it came with a penlight-like stick instead of a regular bamboo skewer, which lights up in dark places. This might be more suitable for young women and couples. They also sold cotton candy packed in containers, perfect for souvenirs. Unfortunately, I had already filled my hands with other items this time, but I think bringing cotton candy as a souvenir is quite unique, so I would like to try it next time I visit.

Cotton candy is cotton candy. It may use high-quality sugar compared to the cotton candy at night markets, but I personally think that the lightness and fleetingness of cotton candy when it melts in your mouth is what makes it good. Recently, there are some shops that prioritize appearance over taste. I believe taste and cost performance are more important. It seems that cotton candy has become a popular souvenir, even in Tokyo, but the taste of souvenir cotton candy tends to be cheaper than freshly made ones, which is puzzling.

On the way to Saga-Arashiyama Station, I found a cotton candy shop (´◡`). They had various Kyoto-like flavors such as matcha, hojicha, and sakura milk, all of which looked delicious♡ They also had a cotton candy called "Wata Tōka," which lights up. After some hesitation, I ordered the sakura milk flavor and received a number tag to wait. While waiting, I could see them making the cotton candy from outside (´◡`) Exciting! When my number was called, I went to pick it up and was surprised by its size! It was fluffy and cute! The sweet and salty sakura flavor spread throughout my mouth, leaving a not too overwhelming sweetness in the aftertaste! The bamboo skewer was also stylish!

It has a trendy vibe, but it takes quite a while.
