Kameya Kiyonaga — Main Shop (亀屋清永 本店)
History
Founded in 1617, with a history of supplying sweets to the imperial palace, temples and shrines. The ancient origins of Seijo Kangidan are separate from the founding of this shop.
Seijo Kangidan (清浄歓喜団) is a fried sweet tied into a pouch shape. Buy it and seasonal Kyoto sweets at the shop below Yasaka Shrine's steps.
