Yoshino Kuzu Sakura (Kuzu Sweets)
A rare Yoshino kuzu specialty shop in Naramachi. Inside a 160+ year-old kominka, serves 100% natural kuzu sweets made fresh to order. The kuzukiri has a refreshing mouthfeel with a chewy texture. Google rating 4.5 with 254 reviews (2nd in Nettorabo Nara wagashi ranking). Prices updated in 2024 due to rising kuzu costs: kuzukiri 900 yen, kuzumochi 980 yen - still appropriate for Naramachi standards.
Praised by tourists and locals for authentic 100% kuzu sweets, freshly made kuzumochi, and a lovely stop during Naramachi walks. Historic kominka atmosphere adds to the experience. Reviews remain consistently positive even after the 2024 price adjustment.
