London-yaki
A famous snack that has been loved across generations for over 70 years in Kyoto's Shinkyogoku district. 'London-yaki' is a castella manju created by 'Londonya,' which was founded shortly after the war. Named 'London'—which was considered fashionable (high-collar) at the time—it features soft castella dough wrapped around white smooth bean paste made from Hokkaido Susuki beans. Since its founding, they have continued to make only this single variety, and the sight of their custom-made confectionery machine baking them one after another is a local attraction. The warmth of the freshly baked treats remains in your memory along with the bustle of Shinkyogaku. The bite-sized pieces are perfect for eating while walking. The retro name and light, gentle flavor will soothe your heart.
