Yoshihashi

I made a reservation for the first time because I heard that you need to make a reservation for the fresh sweets by 3pm the day before. It was very delicious with a refined sweetness. Even if you are a beginner, if you tell them the date and time you would like to receive them and the items (six fresh sweets), they will give you a good balance.

Mamehan, another brand of Yoshihashi, started a shaved ice shop next to Yoshihashi last year, open only in the summer (until the end of August).

At 850 yen, the dripping water ice and brown sugar kinako, typical of a Japanese confectionery shop, may seem expensive, but once you try them, you'll understand.

Drizui ice is a Japanese sweet called Drizui made with lotus starch and the so-called Ujikintoki topped with red bean paste.

Kuromitsu Kinako is a Japanese shaved ice with an elegant sweetness that contains warabi mochi and brown sugar syrup.

Last year it wasn't that great, but this year it has exploded in popularity through word of mouth and SNS, and there are often lines of people standing in line.

By the way, as we locals know, if you want to buy fresh sweets next door, you won't be able to unless you make a reservation.

I learned about Yoshihashi-san the last time I visited Kanazawa, but I was told that reservations were required to purchase fresh sweets, so I gave up on the idea at that time.
My wish came true on this trip to Kanazawa.

An elegant and delicate taste that is just as rumored.
Not only do they look beautiful, but the taste of the bean paste is also different, and you can feel the careful work that goes into them.
It wasn't heavy or tasteful, so I ended up eating way too much.

Unfortunately, the strawberry season was over and fruit daifuku was no longer available.
Next time I visit, I would definitely like to buy some fruit daifuku as well.
