I purchased the summer limited edition chigiri mochi recommended by a friend. The seaweed and mochi were separate, and you wrap the seaweed around the mochi when eating. The sweet and salty soy sauce-based sauce was just right. I want to try the winter limited edition miso dango next time.

I received a kuzumamju as a gift. I like transparent food, and I visited for the first time because my travel companion on a day trip really wanted to go. It became a souvenir for my family, and my mother was also happy. The taste was without complaint, of course.

In one of the four shopping streets, there is a traditional Japanese sweets shop. Normally, there is always a crowd, but on this day, I was lucky to find it empty so I decided to do some food tasting. The shop's specialty is a miso dumpling for 150 yen. You buy it, eat it on the spot, discard the skewer, and head home. This is the essence of Kyoto food tasting. The miso dumpling has a sweet miso flavor with a soft and chewy texture. It's perfect for when you want something sweet, or when you've had too many sweet things and crave something salty. The dumpling is quite large, so one skewer can actually make you quite full, so be careful when food tasting. Thank you for the meal.

I bought spring dango for 120 yen and peanut daifuku for 180 yen to take out. The peanut daifuku is only available for a limited time. Although I also like walnut daifuku, the taste of the peanut daifuku is the best! It was a bit crumbly, but the mochi was soft and it paired perfectly. I can't wait to go back again soon!

I purchased the following for cherry blossom viewing: three-color dango for 120 yen each x2, and a dango set for 500 yen. They were all chewy and delicious. The sweet bean paste is not too sweet, so you can easily eat it all. The texture of the mochi is different for each one, so you won't get tired of eating them. It's convenient and highly recommended!

✨Misodango✨【Ohagi no Tanbay a】Would you like to go on a food tour in Gion, Kyoto? When it comes to Kyoto, I always feel like eating traditional Japanese sweets or mochi! Walking through Gion, there are so many temptations, and I always end up buying something. ★Ohagi no Tanbay a★ Located in front of Shijo Minamiza Theater, Gion, Kyoto. Phone: 075-533-3332. Open from 10:00 to 18:00, closed on no specific days. I love their misodango here. The combination of Kyoto miso and wasabi flavor is delicious, and you can buy just one piece, which is great. The freshly baked misodango is so tasty, so be sure to try it! I went there after a long time and noticed that the prices had gone up, but it's still a good deal. I also bought various other items! I also bought a bean daifuku, but I forgot to take a picture. I usually prefer the one from that other place. - Misodango: ¥150 (per piece) - Various dango: ¥100~ *You can buy just one piece of each. The prices are reasonable, so I always end up buying too much at this shop. I remember there used to be a shop in Nagoya as well, I wonder if it's still there. Thank you for the meal!

I always saw a line and was curious, but I finally lined up and tried the sweet and delicious miso dumplings. They were soft, slightly warm, and sweet. I also bought ohagi, daifuku, and sekihan. They were popular among foreigners too. It was a heartwarming and tasty experience with the sweet dumplings.

When doing a food tour, I always pass by Tanbayasan. The most popular item is their miso flavored rice cake. I usually don't choose miso flavored rice cakes, but this one exceeded my expectations by five times! The taste is a result of the seasoning, rice quality, and the care put into making it. I definitely want to try it again.

You can either buy randomly selected items displayed at the storefront or create your own original assortment. You can buy a lot and individually wrap each item for freezing. Rice cakes taste even better when warmed up, so give it a try!

A perfect place for food tasting, this dumpling shop bakes them on the spot for you to enjoy. This time I tried the miso dumplings! They also have many other varieties of dumplings and ohagi, attracting passersby to stop and try. It's worth trying at least once! By the way, I'm already a repeat customer... haha

Due to certain circumstances, I skipped lunch in Kyoto today. However, I have plenty of time for dinner. To quiet my growling stomach, I decided to visit this place. Oh, this might just do the trick to satisfy my hunger a bit? I tried the miso dango for 150 yen. The miso flavor was a bit mild compared to what Aichi prefecture is known for, but it still had a good taste and paired well with the soft dango. My stomach is now content. Thank you for the meal.

It seems to be a famous shop for Ohagi, but I ordered miso dango because the rice cakes looked delicious. The hot and freshly grilled miso dango really filled me up and had a nice toasted flavor. The dango itself is quite large, so one skewer is enough to feel like you've eaten half a meal. A shop that adds to the enjoyment of eating around Shijo in Kyoto.

When I passed by, I was drawn to the miso dango, which was about two sizes larger than normal dango, and ended up stopping to buy freshly made miso dango and abekawa mochi. They added a lot of kinako for me! The freshly made miso dango was soft and delicious with a perfect sweet miso flavor. I ate the abekawa mochi at home later, and it was also delicious. I should have eaten it right after buying it. I definitely want to come back here when I visit Kyoto again.

I bought a late-night snack for girls‼️ I noticed mountain vegetable rice and decided to buy it for my late-night snack. It seems they have small and large sizes. It looks healthy, so I chose it for girls. It's light and not too heavy, which is good for late-night snacks. Delicious‼️

As I was wandering around Gion, I was lured by a fragrant smell. I remembered there was a rice cake shop, and it turned out to be the Tanbayasan shop. This shop also offers student discounts. The "miso rice cake" for 140 yen is the source of the delicious smell. The rice cake, similar to Gobamochi, is grilled and topped with miso sauce. The rice cake is soft and of a decent size. The combination of the smoky flavor and sweet miso sauce is just right. I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying it was.

The amazing cost performance of 140 yen per piece! If I could deliver it today, I would want to give it as a souvenir to everyone, it's just too good! The dumplings are soft and chewy, with a nice elasticity, and the sweet and salty miso sauce is outstanding! I wish this dumpling shop would open a branch in Asakusa. If I ever go to Gion area, I will definitely stop by again! There are many varieties such as ohagi and sakuramochi, so I'm sure the others are delicious too! Thank you for the meal♪

On the way from Kawaramachi to Yasaka, after crossing Shijo Bridge, there was a huge line on the left side! It was a shop called "Ogura-ya" known for ohagi. Inside, they had various sweets like daifuku, uguisu mochi, mitarashi dango, abekawa, kashiwa mochi, sekihan, sansai gohan... I chose the three-colored spring dango, famous miso dango, and abekawa. Despite the long line, there were efficient ladies in the back serving customers quickly. After purchasing, I ate the sweets in the alley. The miso dango had a unique taste, and the spring dango and abekawa were incredibly delicious! It was a heartwarming experience. ❤️
