yatsuhashi!

I always try to buy yatsuhashi during my rare visits to Kyoto and it's such a gift to be able to buy them from Kokoro. This brand is particularly good-- always fresh and crisp and not too sweet. Usually buy for gifts but I always save a package for my family.

Crunchy & Yummy!

They are very crunchy and cinnamon-y. I loved these as a teen, and even though it's been 50 years since I tasted them, they immediately brought me back to Kyoto! Yummy & mildly sweet, but do be ready for the crispy texture.
