There are numerous companies in Kyoto that make them and they all have stores around the sightseeing places.</p> <p>There are three basic kinds, raw, filled with various flavored bean pastes and baked. They are usually flavored with cinnamon.</p> <p>If you are ever giving a present of sweets to someone in Kyoto, DO NOT give them yatsuhashi.Yatsuhashi is most commonly purchased by junior high school students on their school excursion to Kyoto.</p> <p>The baked ones crumbled on vanilla ice cream is great!</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatsuhashi" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatsuhashi</a> </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/delicious-bridge-cookies#post-161 Fri, 29 May 2009 11:44:20 +0000 JessTwiga 161@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>I'm looking for the name of an amazing cooking I have in the neighborhood of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka. I think it is baked mochi. They are about an inch long and half an inch tall and they look like little brown bridges or half a hollow log. They are crispy, slightly sweet, with a faint spice that I can't quite place. If you know what I'm talking about and could tell me the name that would be amazing!! They are truly one of my favorite cookies!!</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
