Tsuruya Yoshinobu's Kyo-Kanze
A moist cross-section with a beautiful spiral pattern—this is Tsuruya Yoshinobu's representative confection, 'Kyo-Kanze.' It is a prestigious stick-shaped sweet made by wrapping Ogura bean paste in Murasame. This famous sweet was released in 1920 by the long-established shop founded in 1803. It features 'Murasame,' which is made by steaming rice flour with thick-cooked bean paste, wrapped around whole Tanzawa Dainagon red bean paste. The name is said to originate from a legend involving a well at Kanze Inari Shrine near the main store. It is a traditional Kyoto confection that is highly regarded as a gift. With the beauty of the spiral revealed every time it is sliced and the rich flavor of Ogura beans, this is a formal masterpiece that has been loved for over 100 years, adding elegance to Kyoto's tea ceremonies.
