I have to quickly update where i got the yuzu powder and pickled sakura because a lot of readers waiting for me to advise the locations, hehehe. Today i share with you where to get yuzu powder.
After visited kiyomizu-dera 京都清水寺, we heading down to 二年坂/三年坂 where both sides of the small lanes with all old traditional Japanese houses converted into shops or restaurant, and this is where my shopping started ...
I did not take many pictures this time because i was busy shopping, eating and free sampling (this is good, so we can decide what nice things to buy)
Try to get some of this nice muachi..
Also try to get this green tea cookie roll, this was the best cookies we had in Kyoto Japan.
I did not see this cookie selling in Osaka, so my advise try to buy here but do not need to check other places..if other places do have, the price will be almost the same.
we chanced upon this shop selling choux..
We bought matcha ice cream with choux, the ice cream was good, creamy ,smooth and strong matcha aroma, but we were quite dissapointed with the choux, it was soggy!
We stopped this restaurant to have our lunch..
few spices for you to choose
My husband took this photo from inside the restaurant
Few type of veggie for you to top on noodle soup
The 梅子 (plum) rice was good
The tempura set that i ordered
Ok, now where to get this Yuzu powder?
I went to two shops, first was 七味家 (i managed to find their website here )
A very old shop established since year 1655 ..
Their yuzu powder is pack in small platic bag. Beside yuzu powder, don't forgot to get some spices & herbs.
This was the 2nd shop that i got the bottle type of Yuzu powder..
I try to log into their website but failed. I can only show you their trade mark.舞嫏 from this plastic bag.
Luckily i did not throw away this map..Look for "Yuzu" for shops selling yuzu powder, shop selling "muachi & green tea cookie rolls". Also see "Stop Here" for which bus stop that you should stopped in order to get to 清水寺 and 二年坂/三年坂.
wah you very good at cari lubang buy all these good stuffs :)
