98 Reviews Details

This cafe featuring Japanese-style sweets located in Gion’s Hanamikoji-dori Street is well-known as a place where lines can form. Its famous product is the Tokuya’s Hon Warabimochi, made with domestically-produced hon-warabiko (bracken starch) and refined Japanese sugar. Despite its jiggling appearance, the appeal lies in its smooth, thick texture that melts in the mouth. The Omatcha’s Hon Kuzumochi, which uses real Yoshino-produced kuzu and high quality matcha green tea, is also popular and one can try a mix of that with the Hon Warabimochi. In addition, they also offer sweets that bring out the delicious taste of the raw materials such as zenzai (red bean soup) and shaved ice made with tea. One can fully enjoy their Japanese sweets that make the most of the ingredients’ flavors amidst a pure Japanese atmosphere. The closest station is Gion-Shijo Station.

This was my first time trying kakigori. Chose the one with condensed milk and red bean paste. Which also included red bean mochi (great surprise). It was huge!
Extremely friendly and helpful staff.
