[Limited Time] Kameya Yoshinaga, celebrating 220 years, releases sweets inspired by Gion Matsuri, coloring Kyoto's summer.

A Momoyama confection with the imperial crest, exuding the refreshing scent of Natsumikan.

Mantan (Gion Matsuri) - 1 piece, Price: 216 yen (tax included)

"Mantan (Gion Matsuri)" is a Momoyama confection stamped with the imperial crest of Yasaka Shrine, the center of Gion Matsuri. It is baked moist with a dough made from seasonal Natsumikan, cream cheese, and lemon juice. The Natsumikan are carefully selected, grown without pesticides or fertilizers. After the rich creaminess of the cream cheese, the fragrance of Natsumikan gently spreads, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.

Depicting scenes of summer in Kyoto on fan-shaped crackers.

Natsuyori (Gion Matsuri) - 5 pieces, Price: 972 yen (tax included)

"Natsuyori (Gion Matsuri)" are fan-shaped crackers depicting scenes of summer in Kyoto. Made with beet sugar and Hokkaido-produced ancient wheat flour, and deliberately baked without eggs, they have a simple flavor that brings out the natural taste of the ingredients. These are fragrant and gently sweet Kyoto crackers.

Package design perfect for souvenirs

The package features charming illustrations of Kyoto's grid-like streets and festival floats, giving the impression of holding the liveliness of Gion Matsuri in the palm of your hand. They are ideal not only as Kyoto souvenirs but also as gifts for those far away, being lightweight and having a long shelf life.

Bite-sized dumplings shaped like komagata lanterns, with a gentle texture.

Yoiyama Dango - 10 pieces, Price: 2,160 yen (tax included)

Soft gyuhi gently wraps white bean paste, with the imperial crest of Yasaka Shrine stamped on each one. The box is shaped like a festival float, and the lightly pink-tinted filling resembles lanterns being lit one by one in the still-bright evening sky.

In a special box shaped like a festival float

The gentle flavor of white bean paste and gyuhi is reminiscent of childhood memories of looking up at the light of lanterns. Like the light of lanterns coloring the Yoiyama night of Gion Matsuri, these sweets gently illuminate a summer moment. [WEB/Kyoto Limited Product]

Red 'ami-kakushi' (net covering) announced at the festival's climax, incorporated into Chofu sweets.

Hoko Chofu - 1 piece, Price: 378 yen (tax included)

"Hoko Chofu" is a special confection available only at this time, shaped like the 'ami-kakushi' of the festival floats. Fragrant and chewy Chofu dough wraps smooth gyuhi.

As the floats are assembled and the red 'ami-kakushi' appear, the excitement of Gion Matsuri grows daily, approaching its climax. The 'ami-kakushi' is an important decoration that covers the ropes used to assemble the float, completing the festival's attire. Its dignified appearance is echoed in the soft baked color of the Chofu dough and the plumpness of the gyuhi. [WEB/Kyoto Limited Product]
