Kyo Tsukimachian East

  • Japanese sweets

This Kyoto sweets and snack shop is nostalgic yet novel. The main product is hand-baked rice crackers. The store has inherited the tools and techniques of hand-baking from a store founded at the end of the Edo period (1603-1867), and makes rice crackers by hand without using any machines. Their mamesenbei (rice crackers with beans in the dough) uses black soybeans, green peas, peanuts, and even pumpkin seeds in addition to the most popular broad beans.

In the shop, they demonstrate the hand-baking of their signature product, "Soramame Senbei" (rice cracker with broad beans). You can see with your own eyes the handiwork of the shop's artisans, who insist on baking by hand rather than using machines.

The most popular rice cracker is the one loaded with broad beans. The beans make up seventy percent of the whole cracker.
They stock traditional snacks such as konpeito and ramune candies, which are still very popular today.
