A café founded in 1914 located along the stone steps of Ninenzaka in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.

The café’s specialty is its sanshoku hagi-no-mochi, which gives diners the chance to enjoy three varieties of ohagi rice cakes filled with sweet red bean paste. The Kyoto Zenzai, a sweet red bean soup, is also a favorite of patrons thanks to its delicate deliciousness.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
