[Kyogashi Kogetsu] has created sweets that go beyond the framework of traditional Kyoto sweets, such as Senju Senbei, which is a corrugated cookie dough sandwiched with cream. The Gozan of Kyoto, which is sold only during the Gozan no Okuribi, is a gem of a springy grilled skin sandwiched with a special red bean paste made in-house. Dainagon adzuki beans are wrapped in a chewy rice cake wrapper with gold leaf and branded with the characters of the Gozan, which resembles the bonfire of the Gozan.

1,404 yen for 5 pieces of Kyoto Gozan. Available at all stores and the official online shop from August 11th (Friday) to 16th (Wednesday)
