Nishimuradō Kiyomizu Yōkan

This is a prestigious yokan (sweet bean jelly) that has been passed down through generations in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Yasugi City. It is said that the recipe, originally bestowed upon the monks of Kiyomizu-dera, has been carefully preserved over many long years. The ingredients are strictly limited to adzuki beans, agar, and sugar. The core principle of Nishimuradō's Kiyomizu Yokan is the purity of being additive-free, without adding any unnecessary components. Its defining characteristics are the smooth texture of the homemade bean paste and a clean, subtle sweetness that allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through. The light and elegant flavor makes it a perfect accompaniment to tea, ensuring it never becomes tiring to eat. As a local specialty from the temple gates, it is a simple and sincere confection that has been loved by the community for a long time. It is a dish for those who wish to truly savor the authentic taste of its ingredients.
