Yatsuhashi - Kyoto’s Famous Cinnamon Souvenir You Should Definitely Buy
The hanami (花見, cherry blossom viewing) season is just around the corner.
In Japan, one of the most famous locations to view the sakura is Kyoto. The picturesque district of Arashiyama has been a prime hanami spot for centuries. It comprises many notable tourist attractions – Tenryuji Temple, Togetsukyo Bridge and the Arashiyama bamboo groves. Maruyama-Park is also one of the most popular places in Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
However, it is a pity that foreigners are still not allowed to visit Japan for tourism during the coming cherry blossom season. Although you cannot visit Kyoto in the Spring for both these stunning flowers and the renowned experience of Japanese hospitality, don’t be so sad, we are going to bring you a famous souvenir from Kyoto - Sweets-Kyoto Yatsuhashi (Roasted sweet made with cinnamon) 5 packs set [KYOTO].
Yatsuhashi – Popular Sweet Souvenir from Kyoto
Kyoto has innumerable souvenirs to choose from. Yatsuhashi, nevertheless, continues to outrank the rest as one of the most popular souvenirs from Kyoto. According to market research conducted by the city of Kyoto recently, over 40% of the tourists visiting Kyoto, take Yatsuhashi Japanese cookies back with them as a souvenir for their loved ones.
What is Yatsuhashi?
Yatsuhashi cookies are separated into three different kinds. The most traditional one uses a steamed mixture of rice flour, sugar and cinnamon. The dough made of these ingredients is flattened, then baked until it gets hard. The resulting roundish shape resembles a Japanese harp.
Since the dough is dense with a certain thickness, you may find it a bit hard to bite. This is one of the characteristics for Yatsuhashi. Its cinnamon flavor will spread into your mouth upon the first bite.
This confectionery has been loved and enjoyed for more than 300 years. Fragrance of the cinnamon and the baked fragrant taste is widely known as the taste of Kyoto.
The Origin of the Shape and Name of ”Yatsuhashi”
The shape of the Japanese harp comes from Kengyou Yatsuhashi, who was a harpist and composer and taught the Yatsuhashi method for harp.
He was also a master shamisen (Japanese guitar) player and a humble man who did not like to waste. He taught people not to waste rice stuck on the rice cooker by using it to make a cracker.
After Yatsuhashi’s passing, people named this famous cracker after him to honor his humble way of living.
