Shichijo Kanshundo Hon Ten

Our establishment began in the first year of the Keio era, when the first generation, Kiyoshichi, started selling souvenir sweets at the Fushimi-guchi, one of the seven entrances to Kyoto. Blessed with the pure waters of the Kiyomizu "Otowa no Mizu" from the Higashiyama mountains, we have passed down our traditional techniques through generations. We believe that creating delicious wagashi (Japanese sweets) relies on good water, high-quality ingredients, and skills honed through tradition.

Kyoto is known for its many temples and shrines, and the tea ceremony is an important part of the culture here. Our sweets for tea are crafted with care, reflecting the beauty of the changing seasons, and range from traditional to innovative creations.
