Wokashi Tojo (Cake Shop)
A beloved local cake shop tucked in Naramachi. Cheesecake made with sake lees from Nara's famous Harushika sake often sells out before noon. Seasonal cakes using Nara-grown fruits showcased. Google rating 4.5 with 172 reviews (No.1 in Nettorabo Nara western confectionery ranking). Owner-operated single location. Western confectionery specialist, different from the adjacent wagashi shop Kashiya (22-3 Nakacho).
High praise for the Harushika sake lees cheesecake that always sells out. Recommended as a Naramachi walk souvenir. Called a true local pastry shop. TV appearances have boosted its profile. Stable jalan rating of 4.2.
