Exploring Kyoto - Inside Nakamuraken Sweet Shop
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! :)

Want to have your post on the map too?
Thanks for the recommendation!
Is this place rather accessible by train?
No problem. First head to Katsura Station on the Hankyu Line and then walk about 10- 15 minutes from there. Hope that helps. :)
Yum, sounds great! Those photos look tasty too.
yeah, they make tasty sweets! :)
