11. [Furoisen / B1F, JR Kyoto Isetan, Kyoto, Japan

Nijo Wakasaya, which has been delivering Kyoto sweets loved for more than 100 years, sells cute little boxes with snow, moon, and flowers painted on them. The box is filled with kuzu-yu, which is a thick, thick soup made by simply pouring hot water into the box. Snow is a simple pure white kuzuyu, moon is green tea flavored, and flowers are shiruko (sweet red-bean soup). The Tsuki and Hana boxes also have a fun trick: when hot water is poured over the Tsuki and Hana boxes, a staggered bird and arare (arare) made from grilled bran float to the surface.
