Yatsuhashi
Yatsuhashi is a traditional Japanese sweet, originating from Kyoto. It is made primarily from glutinous rice flour, sugar, and cinnamon, giving it a unique flavor and chewy texture. Yatsuhashi can be found in two main forms: baked and unbaked. The unbaked version is often filled with sweet red bean paste, while the baked version has a crispier texture.
This confectionery is not only popular among locals but also a favorite souvenir for tourists visiting Kyoto. Yatsuhashi is often enjoyed with tea and is celebrated for its delicate taste and beautiful presentation, making it a cherished part of Japanese culture.
