Trying my hand at getting the quintessential photo in Kyoto.
And truly go early in the day to avoid crowds. In the afternoon it does get quite packed, you feel like sardines all packed together.
Walked by and saw these cute little skewers.
They are different colors and different types too.
I do know the bottom set are called dango which are made with rice flour and glutenous rice flour. It's sweet and it's a type of traditional Japanese confectionary.
This is what I ended up getting. Just looked so happy.
So the top green one is matcha flavor, yellow is yuzu agar jelly. The pink is Chrysanthemum, and Smilie Face is castellated steamed cake. All seems very meaningful.
Their main store (outside of this super touristy area) does actually have classes/workshop that teaches you make these. And each month has themed flavor and shapes for the class. Obviously has to be booked in advance. These, however, you can walk into the shop to get.
