A few images that I took inside a small sweet shop near Katsura Imperial Villa named Nakamuraken. I was taken here by a Japanese friend and it didn’t disappoint. I didn’t know much about this location but after the visit I was able to go online and research a little about this quaint sweet shop.
Mugitemochi is one of the most famous sweets that they make, a white mochi that is wrapped over azuki red bean paste and topped with a soybean powder. We also tried Kakigōri, translated to shaved ice in English, which was matcha flavoured with red bean paste and more mochi. Overall a fantastic experience and I would certainly visit again. I recommend you visit too if you get the chance, it truly is a "Japanese" experience. More soon! :)
