Both versions of sakuramochi (桜餅) are also named after temples.
The Kantō-style 'Chōmeiji-mochi' (長命寺餅) is named after Chōmei-ji, a temple in Tōkyō close to the shop that first starting selling the sweets.

💛WAXING WINTER💛
Around the lunar New Year guests are served 'rōbai' (蝋梅), named after the fragrant 'yellow wax plum' which blooms at this time of year.

We're kicking off Setsubun season with 2 sweets from Kameya Shigehisa (亀屋重久), named after a famous phrase you will hear during the February 3rd celebrations...
鬼は外!🫘👹🚪➡️
"Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!"
福は内!🍀➡️🚪😊
"Devils out! Fortune in!"
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"🎶🎵
A rather adorable depiction of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer from Kameya Shigehisa (亀屋重久), a small store located in front of Myōshin-ji's north gate.

She begins 'kabura' (かぶら) season with Nijō Wakasaya's (二條若狭屋) adorable offering.
How many kabura will she consume this winter?🤔
