It began in 1689.
The beginning is that our ancestor Nishimura Hikozaemon recalled a refined life of Ariwarano Narihira in “Ise Monogatari” (Tales of Ise) and made sweets shaped eight bridges in the story. Yatsuhashi was born from Japanese refined mind.
Over 320 years Honke Yatsuhashi has inherited manufactures and sales of Yatsuhashi here in Kyoto. Through the ages we have the honor of being royal warrant holder and received some prize at exhibitions, we have grown as a long-established confectionary represented Japan.
We still keep seeking authentic tastes by using methods from the old days and carefully selected food.
