Last update :

This is a shop operated by Hakuichi, which was built on the site of "Higashi-yu", a public bath that was popular in Higashi Chaya-gai. The shop has an atrium from the days of public baths, and you can enjoy shopping in an open atmosphere.

The store sells a variety of crafts, including acrylic coasters "Tsuyabi" (2,200 yen) fully decorated with gold leaf, and "Chisuji Ginjo Glass" (8,800 yen), which is handmade one by one. The lineup also includes other original cosmetics such as "Gold Leaf Cosmetics," which are popular overseas, and food products such as "Gold Leaf Gateau Chocolat" (1,620 yen) and gold leaf coffee (540 yen), which are recommended as souvenirs.

One of the charms of this shop is its wide selection of souvenirs, ranging from travel souvenirs to authentic gifts for special occasions.

At the attached cafe, you can also taste "Kinpaku no Kagayaki Soft Ice Cream" (891 yen), which is made with a single piece of extravagant gold leaf that originated at the Higashiyama branch. The gold leaf is placed in front of you after you order, so it is recommended to take a video.
