What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A mochi specialty shop founded in 1682 (Tenwa 2) with over 340 years of history, located in front of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. Made fresh to order one by one. Only two varieties: smooth red bean paste or roasted soybean flour. May sell out by 3:30pm. Selected for Tabelog's 100 Famous Wagashi Shops WEST 2023.

Praised as 'being on the pure-water path of Kitano Tenmangu, both the bean paste and mochi have a clean, pure deliciousness.' Particularly busy on the 25th monthly market day. Even on weekdays there's a queue but it moves fast. Tabelog 3.76/1079 reviews. 100 Famous Shops selected.
