-         * 亀屋良長 and 亀屋良永 (both read as よしなが, but very different stores!). The former is famous for its water and left a very good impression on me, the latter is a bit sleepy. 
-         * {{ruby|亀末廣|かめすえひろ}}. 
-         * 米満老舗 small shop with a tasty coffee 大福  
-         * {{ruby|末富|すえとみ}}. Tiffany blue, famous, friendly, wasn't too impressed. 
-         * {{ruby|塩芳軒|しおよしけん}}, quite understated. 
-         * Kameya Yoshihiro 
-         * Tawara 
-         * Kameya Iori 
-         * Kameya Shit shit with the sugar glaze 
-         * uchu for higashi

-         * Yoshihiro, of course 
    * If they all sound a bit the same, that is not a coincidence, but the product of {{ruby|暖簾分け|のれんわかれ}}, where people go to study under one 和菓子屋 and then open their own shop, often taking one character from their alma mater.    * If they all sound a bit the same, that is not a coincidence, but the product of {{ruby|暖簾分け|のれんわかれ}}, where people go to study under one 和菓子屋 and then open their own shop, often taking one character from their alma mater.

 +   * They famous 干菓子 is a 落雁-style cookie with some 大徳寺納豆 in it. It has a slightly caseous smell and a rustic appearance, but the salty bean balances the sugar somewhat making the whole affair slightly less boring.

 +===亀屋伊織=== 
 +   * The "official" supplier of 干菓子 to 裏千家: It's their sweets that you'll see in the 淡交社 publications. 
 +   * You can't just walk in there; instead, you need to make a reservation and order by phone. They pride themselves in making 干菓子 for 茶事, so it's best to say that you have so-and-so-many 茶事 planned with so-and-so-many guests. 
 +   * They don't have a catalogue of their sweets, and explained to me that knowing what sweets they have for which season comes naturally with being part of the tea world. (But all the 淡交社 pictures provide ample of reference material.) 
 +   * When I visited, I got their iconic 滝 and 青楓. They are not classical 落雁, but taste like they've mixed in some egg whites and flour, possibly 寒梅粉. The 滝 is quite sweet, but they are, indeed, very nice.

 +   * ともなが. 
 +   * Wasn't on my list, but stopped by there by accident. 
 +   * They seem to have nice 干菓子, but their 名菓子 was coloured icing sugar coated あん, which really wasn't anything to write home about.

          * A very simple yet effectful「夏の空」, which was 白あん wrapped with a bit of blue ぼかし, some lines added with a {{ruby|千筋板|せんすじ}} and two birds added with royal icing. It was very nice, even though it was so simple (I probably would have added just a bit of lime or yuzu to give it some lift in the summer heat).          * A very simple yet effectful「夏の空」, which was 白あん wrapped with a bit of blue ぼかし, some lines added with a {{ruby|千筋板|せんすじ}} and two birds added with royal icing.

    * I had a [[nagashimono|錦玉羹]] called「{{ruby|琥珀羹|こはく}}」, which I really didn't appreciate, but which represents a very old style summer sweet that this shop preserves.     * I had a [[nagashimono|錦玉羹]] called「{{ruby|琥珀羹|こはく}}」, which I really didn't appreciate, but which represents a very old style summer sweet that this shop preserves.

The former are made from what seems to be a egg white-ish shell filled with some slightly acidic sugar; akin to the silver 若鮎 from 俵屋. 
 +   * Also, their instant ぜんざい is quite fun and surprisingly tasty.

 +   * Relatively new (1908), close to 北野, very nice neighborhood. 
 +   * One of their 練り切り was filled with さらし餡, which made it feel very elegant. 
 +   * Since they consider quite courtly, one of their famous 干菓子 is the 「{{ruby|御所車|ごしょくるま}}」. It's an あん-filled らくがん, quite tasty, again with their quite subtle あん.

 +   * Famous for their 雲龍 sweet, which they make in white and black. I found that very underwhelming, just an unrefined blob of あん wrapped in some dough. 
 +   * They also had a ginger-filled [[wakaayu|鮎]] that looked very pretty, but was not very tasty or satisfying to eat (especially when compared to the real deal). 
 +   * They are quite close to the 裏千家 complex. 
 +   * Elegantly simple 練り切り, we had their 祇園祭 and 草の露. For the former, we were impressed with the two layers being precisely the same thickness; for the latter the subtle 暈し was quite effective.
