Hourandou

Hourando is a Japanese confectionery shop in Arashiyama, Kyoto, selling warabimochi. The shop serves three kinds of freshly made warabimochi — plain, matcha, and bamboo charcoal — with tea. When eating in, customers pay at the same counter as takeout customers and carry their food to the large table on the first floor, and the tatami seating requires removing shoes before stepping up. The street in front of the shop is narrow with heavy vehicle traffic, so take care when moving around.
