It was good timing that while we were in Kyoto last year, one of my good friends from college (Hello, Contre!) recommended that we buy some Yatsuhashi Cookies, a cinnamon-flavoured cookie which is famous in Kyoto, Japan.  I’m very fond of cookies so naturally, we bought a box to take home to Sydney. The Yatsuhashi was sweet and the cinnamon smelled so good. It was a great partner for tea and coffee.

A few weeks back, I stopped by MD Ranking, a Japanese shop in the city and was lucky to find that they have a few boxes of Yatsuhashi cookies in store. I found a box with Yatsuhashi cookies covered in green tea, chocolate and strawberry coating.
