Tsuruya Yoshinobu — Main Shop (鶴屋吉信 本店)
History
Founded in 1803. The present main shop was built in 1992, incorporating elements of Kyoto townhouses.
Yumochi (柚餅) is a soft, chewy rice sweet flavored with yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit. Upstairs, the tea room serves sweets; at Kayu Chaya (菓遊茶屋), craftspeople make fresh sweets in front of customers.
