Advance reservations are required, so I asked the hotel concierge to make the reservation for me one day before the pick up. You never know what you'll find at this chef's selection of Japanese sweets cause only seasonal assorted sweets are available. What you may decide is the amount of sweets you want. Regarding the effort,I’d say it’s worth the price and good to give it a try.

Tom San said: Not just one of the best — it's THE BEST! One day, we stopped by to order, and the female owner was incredibly kind. Despite the language barrier, she went out of her way to help us place our order. We picked up three boxes the next day. The moment we stepped outside, we couldn’t resist — we opened one right away to try it. It was so good, we immediately went back in and ordered four more large boxes to pick up three days later, just in time to bring them back to the USA to share with our family. It’s absolutely worth the effort to order.

Indulge in the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional Japanese sweets at "Shogetsu" in Murasakino, Kyoto, a confectionery that has epitomized the pinnacle of elegance and delicacy since its establishment in 1916. Renowned for its freshly made treats that are often sought after for prestigious tea ceremonies, Shogetsu demands reservations at least a day in advance to ensure the unparalleled freshness of its offerings. The genesis of Shogetsu traces back to the founding generation's apprenticeship at Toraya, with its name inspired by the majestic imagery of a tiger's roar at the moon. This heritage is reflected in the meticulous preparation of its sweets, where time-honored techniques ensure each piece is a masterpiece of taste and aesthetics. At the heart of Shogetsu's confections is the premium red beans sourced from Bichu, transformed into an ethereal white bean paste that serves as the core filling of their signature sweets. The painstaking process involves sieving the bean paste through an exceptionally fine mesh and the adept use of specially crafted chopsticks to achieve the perfect consistency and form. The result is the iconic Kinton, a marvel of confectionery that captivates both the eye and the palate with its delicate beauty and sublime flavor. As the seasons change, so do the offerings at Shogetsu, inviting patrons to savor the transient beauty of nature through their exquisite sweets. Experience the artistry and tradition that have defined Shogetsu for over a century, and let each bite transport you to a realm of sensory delight. Meal type: Other Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
