A Golden Treat
The shine of Kinkaku-ji is not just about beauty.
Through centuries of history, it has overcome many challenges and continues to fascinate people today.
At Yamazaki-an, founded in 2014, we honor the brilliance of Kinkaku-ji and hope to share that golden sparkle with everyone who visits.

A Bite of Gold

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu once dreamed of a “golden world.” We bring a little of that dream into every sweet.

With the history of World Heritage Kinkaku-ji around you, we hope our treats become a golden memory of your trip.
At Yamazaki-an, we’ll keep sharing the tradition and beauty of Japan through our sweets.
