京都府·和菓子
Izutsu Yatsuhashi
A crisp texture and the refreshing aroma of cinnamon. Izutsu Yatsuhashi Honpo, founded in the second year of the Bunka era (1805), continues to produce 'Yatsuhashi,' a representative baked confection of Kyoto. The name Yatsuhashi is derived from Yatsuhashi Kengyo, revered as the founder of koto music. It is said that disciples and tea house owners, in memory of the Kengyo's virtues of cherishing things, began selling hard-baked crackers shaped like a koto (Japanese harp) under the name 'Yatsuhashi.' The company was originally founded in front of the Minamiza theater in Gion. For over two hundred years, they have continued to protect this famous Kyoto confection.
