A popular shop known for traditional Kyoto candy and its specialty “Hiyashi Ame Soft” (chilled ginger syrup soft-serve).
Iwai Seika – A Long-Established Kyoto Candy Shop Preserving Traditional Craft
Iwai Seika has been making Kyo-ame (Kyoto candy) for generations using the traditional jikama method (hand-crafted in open pots). Unlike mass-produced candy from automated factories, each piece has a unique color, shape, and flavor born from Kyoto’s artisanal techniques.
At the shop in front of JR Uji Station, you’ll find a wide variety of Kyoto candies, including Uji tea candy, beautifully displayed alongside tea and sweets that make perfect souvenirs. You can also enjoy takeout treats such as the famous “Hiyashi Ame Soft” (soft-serve with chilled ginger syrup).
Conveniently located near JR Uji Station, it’s the perfect place to stop by for souvenirs before heading home.
