京都府·和菓子
Seijo Kidan (Kameya Kiyonaga)
Seijo Kidan by Kameya Kiyonaga is one of Japan's oldest sweets, passed down through more than a millennium. It is a precious masterpiece that preserves the form of Karagatis brought to Japan by envoys to Tang China during the Nara period. Smooth bean paste infused with seven different fragrances is wrapped in a golden pouch-shaped dough made of rice and wheat flour, sealed with eight knots, and deep-fried in high-quality sesame oil. Kameya Kiyonaga is the only shop in the country that continues to preserve this flavor, having received the production method from an Ajari (ascetic monk) of Mount Hiei. Established in 1617, this long-standing shop offers a taste that allows you to reflect on a thousand years of history when enjoyed with tea. With its unique aroma of cinnamon and sandalwood, it is a truly incomparable flavor—a special Kyoto confection that can be called the very origin of Wagashi.
