Kameya Yoshinaga has been making Kyoto sweets since 1803, and its main shop is on Shijo-dori near Horikawa. Ubatama, a jet-black sweet that looks like a blackberry lily seed, has been made since the shop was founded. The newer slice yokan is red bean jelly cut into thin sheets that you lay on bread and toast.
Insider tip
The shop opens 9:30 to 18:00 and its small tearoom 11:00 to 17:00. Book on the website for the 14:00 sweets class (¥3,300), where a confectioner shows you how and you make two namagashi, eating one with matcha. It's at the Shijo-Horikawa end, about ten minutes' walk west of Shijo Station.

Around Shijo-Karasuma
Kyoto's old bank corner, with kimono streets one block back
Shijo-Karasuma is the crossing where the subway meets the Hankyu line from Osaka, and by 1915 three of the big banks stood on it. It doesn't look much like the Kyoto on the posters. Walk one block west, though, and you're on Muromachi-dori, the old kimono wholesalers' street, near the lanes where the Gion Matsuri floats are built every July.
Shijo-Karasuma has 16 places on the Roam Kyoto map: 4 shops, 3 shrines and temples, 3 cafes, 3 museums, 1 restaurant, 1 bar and 1 neighbourhood. Read the Shijo-Karasuma guide.
