This video shows how to make "Yatsuhashi," a representative souvenir of Kyoto.

Yatsuhashi is a Japanese confectionery that has established a firm position as a tourist souvenir of Kyoto.
In general, there are two types of yatsuhashi: nama yatsuhashi (non-baked yatsuhashi) and katayaki yatsuhashi (hard-baked yatsuhashi), both are equally popular.
The standard flavor is cinnamon, although it is now available in a variety of flavors, such as matcha, strawberry, and black sesame.

In the video, you can see the katayaki yatsuhashi being made in the store, so be sure to check it out.
