Toshoan specializes in anko, a sweet paste made from Japanese red beans, a highly popular and famous treat among locals. They have a strong focus on health and dietary restrictions: they avoid using wheat flour, making most of their menu gluten-free. Additionally, they provide customers with a list of common allergens that could be present in their dishes. Their fluffy and flavorful pancakes (especially matcha), cheesecake, and the assortment of 'An de' treats filled with anko and various ing ... redients like cream, matcha, and strawberries are highly popular. They also offer 'yokan' (anko-filled jelly). The style of their pastries has a Western influence but with distinctly Japanese flavors. The surprising result is achieved even more remarkably considering they're made without wheat flour. With a relaxing ambiance, Toshoan is perfect for a quick stop or to rest between sightseeing tours. It's only a 5-minute walk from Nijo Castle on the way to Kyoto Station.
