Sasaya Iori
Sasaya Iori is a Kyoto confectionery shop established in 1716. The origin of this shop dates back to when the founder, originally a confectioner in the castle town of Tamaru in Ise Province, was recognized for his skill and called to Kyoto to serve the Imperial Court. Since then, the shop has continued to craft Japanese sweets, specifically "jou-gashi" (high-grade confectionery), exclusively for the Imperial Palace, shrines, temples, and tea ceremony masters.
Today, their sweets are accessible to a broader audience and are available for purchase through department stores and online shops.
