Murakami Kaishindo — A Kyoto Classic
is a long-established confectionery shop in Kyoto, with a history rooted in traditional Japanese craftsmanship.This past April, they opened a brand-new building right next to their original shop. While the original store preserves a wonderfully nostalgic atmosphere, the new space offers a completely different experience, with a modern design and an entirely new selection of sweets.
The original shop is beautifully retro, with a slightly dim, intimate interior where traces of its rich history remain throughout. Even the staff and the atmosphere evoke a beautiful sense of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Next door, the new building is simple, bright, and impeccably clean, with a sophisticated modern design. And, of course, the sweets are absolutely delicious!
If you’re visiting Kyoto, be sure to stop by Murakami Kaishindo.It’s a wonderful place to experience a refined expression of Japanese beauty—where traditional Japanese sensibility meets elegant Western-style confectionery.
