Artisan
Iwai Seika '岩井製菓' has been in business since 1964. Their Kyo-ame '京飴' is made in a small candy factory in Uji. They use traditional methods with a pot over an open fire to carefully boil down each piece individually with expert skills. Unlike candies made in automated factories, their traditional techniques maximise the flavour of each ingredient. They remain committed to preserving the traditional techniques of Kyo-ame, a beloved Kyoto delicacy enjoyed for generations.
