Kameya Yoshinaga Yokan

Founded in 1803, Kameya Yoshinaga is a long-established Kyoto confectionery shop known for its diverse offerings of traditional Japanese sweets that reflect the changing seasons.

Their yokan (sweet bean jelly) is made using the famous "Samegai Water," which springs forth at the shop's entrance. This high-quality water enhances the aroma and flavor of the adzuki beans, ensuring that the simple ingredients used in the yokan contribute to Kameya Yoshinaga's superior taste.

Their classic product is "Yoru no Ume," available year-round. This yokan is made with luxurious Tanba Dainagon adzuki beans, domestically produced sugar, agar, malt syrup, and trehalose, allowing the natural flavor of the beans to shine through.

In addition to the standard offerings, they also provide seasonal limited editions and special products available only during certain times, such as Valentine's Day. These variations often feature seasonal fruits or auspicious designs, making them enjoyable to discover as souvenirs or gifts.
