JP2012 - Kihachiro

Part of the fun of visiting Kiyomizudera is the approach to the temple along the steep and busy lanes of the atmospheric Higashiyama District.

 

 

The many shops and restaurants in the area have been catering to tourists and pilgrims for centuries, and products on sale range from local specialties to the standard set of souvenirs.

 

 

The one shop that caught my attention was Kihachiro, with its offering of steamed cherry blossom buns.

 

 

My very first time tasting sakura paste!! Unknowingly, Kihachiro is actually famous for its beef buns. Will definitely be back to try that next time!!
