Kagizen Yoshifusa: Gion’s Historic Kuzukiri Tea House
Kagizen Yoshifusa is a long-established confectionery shop in Gion dating back to the mid-Edo period, best known for kuzukiri, chilled arrowroot-starch noodles served with a sweet syrup for dipping. The kuzukiri has a distinctive translucent, chewy texture, and the shop is widely regarded as one of Gion's representative wagashi makers. An attached tea room lets visitors sit down and enjoy kuzukiri and other wagashi on the premises, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring Gion. Specific pricing and current business hours were not independently confirmed for this guide, so visitors should check directly with the shop before visiting.
