Located southeast of Demachiyanagi Station in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, this shop offers the following snack for today: Soba Bolo in a drawstring bag for 357 yen. The drawstring bag is cute, and the simple taste and fragrance were delicious. Thank you for the meal! ❤️ ( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )

Before my grandmother passed away, whenever I visited her, there would always be soba boro (soba cookies) available, and I would help myself to them. It was a taste that reminded me of my grandmother. Since her passing, I hadn't had the opportunity to eat them until today when a patient from Higashi-Osaka mentioned that they liked soba boro. I happened to be visiting them tomorrow, so I went to buy some as a gift. Seeing is believing, indeed. Aside from soba boro, there were various other sweets available. The matcha flavored ones were snatched by my mother, but the soba gasane was my snack. It was really delicious. I actually only found out the price today (laughs). Since it's nearby, I'll definitely go back to buy more!

In the souvenir alley in front of Kyoto Station, there was a corner dedicated to collecting soba bolo. I found it interesting to be able to buy products from both the main store Kawamichiya and Marutamachi Kawamichiya at the same time. I purchased small and inexpensive items from each. The Marutamachi Kawamichiya product was called "Matsubokkuri." I thought it was not a plum bud... but wait, this is not soba bolo! The ingredients were sugar, coconut, chicken eggs, wheat flour, powdered cinnamon, and caramel color. Coconut? What is this exactly? Curiously, when I tried it, it tasted familiar. It was the crispy coconut-flavored snack that comes in cookie tins as a gift! I quite like it, but there is only a small amount in the tin, so I had wished to eat a lot of it separately someday, and strangely enough, my wish came true at an odd timing! Matsubokkuri 540 yen.

I purchased the soba manju from Kyoto Kawamichiya☆ for 118 yen including tax. The taste of buckwheat flour is also present in the skin, which lightly wraps around the sweet red bean paste. The sweetness is decent, and overall it's quite enjoyable. Thank you for the meal! Thank you for visiting and reading!

You can see a large sign from the train window of the JR San'in Line. It's a simple soba bolo shop. It may not be particularly delicious, but it seems more like something you buy as a gift rather than to eat yourself. The flower-shaped soba bolo with a hollow in the middle is a classic, but there are also easier-to-eat Go stone-shaped ones. There are also products with nuts added to make them a bit easier to eat, so it depends on your preference. However, when it comes to gifts, the classic flower-shaped ones are the way to go.

Located right next to JR Saga Arashiyama Line Enmachi Station, this shop sells a type of traditional Japanese confectionery called soba bolo. I'm not sure if soba bolo is considered a traditional Japanese sweet or a souvenir from Kyoto, but it gave me a nostalgic feeling, so I decided to stop by. The shop is situated on the south side of Enmachi Station, facing a one-lane road with a showcase displaying the soba bolo. You don't go inside to browse leisurely, it's more of a quick stop to make a purchase. The taste was indeed nostalgic and delicious. It felt different from the soba bolo sold in supermarkets, but my taste buds aren't very discerning, so I didn't notice a significant difference in quality. As a souvenir, the price seemed reasonable, but for everyday snacking, it felt a bit expensive.

Nostalgic buckwheat bolo from the past. I found out that there are two kinds of buckwheat bolo with the same reading at a certain department store's famous confectionery corner, and I wanted to try them side by side. I happened to find a packaged product at a supermarket that was different from the department store and much cheaper (lol). Now, onto the taste test. The crispy texture is nice and it is deliciously fragrant. It has a nostalgic flavor that doesn't get old, and it goes well with both tea and coffee. I thought I could tell the difference by eating them side by side, but I couldn't tell the difference unless I did so at the same time (sweat). Anyway, the result is that it is undeniably delicious (lol). It is a famous confectionery from Kyoto. Thank you for the meal!

Thank you for the meal. Always appreciated...

I received a souvenir of soba bolo from Marutamachi Kawamichiya Nishinokyo Honten! Thank you! Soba bolo 120g for 710 yen Delicious!! It has a simple taste but you just want to keep eating more and more! It's irresistible (○´艸｀)♪ Elegant taste♪ Soba bolo, a representative specialty of Kyoto, has a small round shape that resembles plum blossoms and buds. When you put it in your mouth, it has a good texture and melts smoothly. Soba bolo, which brings out the unique wild taste and aroma of soba, is a traditional taste that never gets boring. (From the official website) Just for your reference for Marutamachi Kawamichiya Nishinokyo Honten♪

My friend from Kyoto brought me some sweets as a souvenir from here ^^ Soba Boru 120g in a can Selling price (tax included): 648 yen Inside the can, there are two types of soba boru. Although the shapes are different, the taste is the same ♫ It has a crispy texture. Soba boru. Not too sweet, it's an elegant soba boru~☆☆☆ Next time I go nearby, I want to visit this shop!! When I looked at the website, it said that the simple and rustic taste of boru (Bolo) is timeless. Boru was introduced by the Portuguese around 1570 and at that time, it was made by kneading wheat flour with sugar and baking it. To this, they added chicken eggs and carefully baked it to bring out the wild scent of soba, creating soba boru.
