I think this is the pinnacle of sakuramochi. I have never eaten more delicious sakuramochi than here.
Domyoji's Sakuramochi is small and reasonably priced, but it is still a Japanese sweet that you should try at least once.
The cherry blossom leaves, which are treated as a bonus, play an important role in this sakuramochi. The salted leaves have a wonderful aroma and are soft, and by sandwiching them between two leaves, they stay moist forever, and the saltiness and aroma of the leaves transfers to Domyoji, creating a perfect balance with the elegant sweetness of Ann. Even in summer, it has a storage period of 3 days, and even during that time, the saltiness and aroma will gradually transfer and the taste will change, but since I usually eat it right away, I decided to try it this time.
I used to be able to buy it at Isetan in Kyoto, so I would get off on my way to work and buy it, but now that it's gone, I can only eat it when I go to Arashiyama, and unfortunately there's no cafe there. I thought there was another store in Arashiyama before, but now there is only the main store, and you can't eat there.
