-         * 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

-         * uchu for higashi

    * 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.    * When I visited, I got their iconic 滝 and 青楓.

 +   * 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.
