Kyo Tsukimachian West
- Japanese sweets
This shop specializes in an unusual pastry called "Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” "Anesu" is based on the sound of a Portuguese word for baked sweets. It is actually a word that has been used for a long time in Japan, although not many people are familiar with it. The ingredients are flour, sugar, and eggs. The surface is baked to a smooth firmness, and the face of Daruma (a Buddhist saint) and the word "fuku," meaning "good luck," are branded on it. Hence, “Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” The texture is crispy, like a Japanese "bolo" cookie, which also happens to be derived from a Portuguese pastry.
"I apprenticed myself to an artisan who was over 80 years old and had been making these sweets for more than 60 years, and after about two years of training, I inherited these techniques. This product has two layers of dough, which is rare in Japan."
