Founded in 1904, Murakami is a cookie and sweets institution in Kyoto.
The shop is located on Teramachi north of Nijo Dori, which is between City Hall and the Imperial Palace.
It is the oldest western style pastry maker in Kyoto.
The shop has a pre-War vibe and is a real step back in time. The floor is made of tiles, and the cookies are kept in old-time glass jars.
Murakami is a known for its "Russian Cookies." Many of the cookies bring to mind the buttery cookies grandmom made: melt in your mouth delicious and topped with raisins, chocolate, and other items.
Much of Teramachi is lined with interesting shops: used book shops, restaurants, bamboo goods, a wonderful liquor store, the city's pellet shop (for heating), clothing shops.
