This is the direct shop of a kudzu maker that has been working in Yoshino since 1870. You can sit down to kuzumochi, kuzukiri noodles, sesame tofu or kudzu porridge, and buy the powder to take home. It stands on the road near the old Todai-ji west gate, a good stop after a park walk. The kudzu course needs a reservation.
