KYO-GASHI is traditional Japanese confectionery that originated in Kyoto. The historic city of Kyoto is home to many traditional Kyoto confectionaries.
Making KYO-GASHI, which are both beautiful and seasonal, is an experience that everyone would like to try at least once. For this reason, there are many hands-on workshops in Kyoto. However, there are also many workshops for foreigners or facilities that are specifically designed for experiences.
Why not participate in a KYO-GASHI hands-on workshop that organized by actual traditional Kyoto confectionaries ?
There are also hands-on workshops where you can actually make the products that are on display in the shop.
Unfortunately, most Namagashi (fresh confectioneries) have a shelf life of 1-2 days, so it may be difficult to take them back to your country.
However, some traditional Kyoto confectionaries not only organize workshops, but also sell dry confectioneries that last for a long time, so you can also buy souvenirs there.
Here are the Kyoto confectionaries that I recommend for KYO-GASHI hands-on workshops:
- KANSHUNDO East Shop (Eastern KYOTO)
- KANSHUNDO Sagano Shop (Western KYOTO)
- SHICHIJO KANSHUNDO (Eastern KYOTO)
- KAMEYA YOSHINAGA (Central KYOTO)
Please try them once, according to your schedule.
