There are many places in Kyoto selling candy that not only look colorful but also taste delicious. The candy sold in Kyoto doesn’t only feel very Japanese, but they also don’t weight much, so they’re convenient as souvenirs! Also, they’re cheaper than other souvenirs so you can buy a lot and give some to your friends.

The “Kyo-ame” candies of Crochet, located close to Fujii Daimaru Department store, are all handmade in Kyoto.There is a meaning behind the colors of the candies, and they’re also named after these meanings. I hope you will also note that the names of the products are also available in English. You could choose your candy based on the taste, but it’s also fun to choose based on the color.

4JEREMY & JEMIMAH
Jeremy & Jemimah is a shop close to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine specializing in Kyoto-like cotton candy. After ordering, you get to see up-close how cotton candy is made. The best thing about this shop is that you can taste some unusual Japanese flavors like matcha and umeboshi (dried plum). Great for snacking on the go!
