Nishiki Kofukudo
- Japanese sweets
A delicious sight. This is a storefront that fits such words. Kyoto is a city that places great importance on the customs of each season. You can feel and taste Kyoto with sweets associated with these customs. Kofukudo, founded in 1868, has had its main store near the Gojo Ohashi Bridge (now Matsubara Bridge) for 150 years. The specialty Gojo Giboshi Monaka is a monaka made in the motif of a giboshi (a type of ornamental finial used on Japanese railings) decorating the parapets of the Gojo Ohashi Bridge.
The store always has about ten varieties of colorful, high-quality nerikiri (sweet paste made of yams and other ingredients) sweets on display, each one a work of art handcrafted by skilled artisans. Limited edition nerikiri sweets for Halloween and Christmas are also popular.
