Hi, I'm Obuchi from Risshisha.

Yubasho Rakujuan, a popular yuba (tofu skin) specialty store,
is located very close to Kyoto Station.

Founded in 1885, this popular Kyoto yuba (tofu skin) store has a long history,
and Kyoto chefs love its perfectly crafted yuba.

For decades, vegetarian and kaiseki (traditional multi-course) cuisines used Kyoto yuba,
a highly nutritious dish made from soybeans that serves as a key ingredient of Kyoto cuisine.

It's surprising that this traditional yuba (tofu skin) store makes a variety of candies.

This time, we'll show Yubasho Rakujuan's famous, known soy cream puff.

Instead of the usual round shape,
Rakujuan's soy cream puffs have a unique cylindrical shape.
They are made with rice flour and a gluten-free dough
that is stuffed with lots of soy milk cream.

Unlike milk, soybeans have a mild sweetness
that catches your taste buds instantly.
This yuba (tofu skin) store specializes in
creamy soy milk with an enjoyable aftertaste.

The basic sweetness of the ingredients
brings out their flavor in an amazing way.
This cream puff is easy to eat, even for people who think
"sweets are too heavy," thanks to the mild flavor of soy milk sweets.

The main store of Rakujuan is about
five minutes' walk from Kyoto Station's Hachijo Exit.
We highly recommend you visit this store
if you are traveling from Kyoto Station to our accommodation.

Sweets made with Kyoto-original ingredients
Good as a tiny gift or as a snack when exploring Kyoto.
See you again.
