The photo shows the “fondant chocolat ~smoked~.” The moment it is brought to the table, a gentle smoky aroma rises up, making this an original dessert you can only enjoy here.
Chocolate flows out from the moist cake, giving it a rich and full flavor.

This is a Special chocolate shop where you can enjoy high quality chocolate in a calm atmosphere that feels very Kyoto-like. The beautiful chocolates, which change with the seasons, are delicate in both appearance and flavor, and every item makes a great gift to bring along. The attentive service is pleasant too, making this a charming chocolate specialty shop you'll want to stop by again and again.

It was quiet, calm, and very comfortable. It looked very cute, and it tasted great too. The jelly at the bottom was especially delicious! The other parfaits also looked cute and tasty, so I’d like to go again.

The “seiro-mushi (steamed in a bamboo steamer)” course, made with high quality ingredients such as seasonal vegetables and Kyoto pork, is popular.
Using a seiro (bamboo steamer) and slowly cooking with steam gives the ingredients a tender finish and brings out their natural flavor. Another highlight is being able to enjoy different flavors with gochujang mayonnaise and yuzu kosho (yuzu pepper paste).

A popular dessert is the monaka (crisp wafer filled sweet). You can enjoy the well-balanced sweetness of salted anko (red bean paste) and fresh cream, along with the crisp texture of the monaka.
For sweets, they also offer the omanju set and the Fuji Tora parfait.

Steamed basket lunch♪ It had that Kyoto feel, so I made a reservation and was really looking forward to it. The food came quickly, and you can tell every detail was carefully thought out. It was so good! The Kyoto Pork shabu-shabu had wonderful rich fat. The vegetables were also delicious, and steaming really brought out the natural flavor of the ingredients. The takikomi gohan (seasoned rice cooked with ingredients) was tasty too, and maybe because it was a steamed meal, I felt like my metabolism got a boost.

A restaurant in Gion serving seiro-mushi (steamed dishes in bamboo baskets). The entrance is not very wide, but the restaurant is long and narrow, with tatami seating in the back, giving it a very nice atmosphere. The vegetable seiro, the pork seiro, and even the rice seiro were all very good. This is a place I would definitely like to visit again.

Saryo Kyoto Yoshitsugu is a cafe about a 3-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Tozai and Karasuma subway lines, set in a kyo-machiya (traditional Kyoto townhouse) built in 1877.
Rather than being renovated in a modern style, it still has an appearance that carries on the charm of Kyoto today. A kura (traditional storehouse) remains in the back of the interior, and between it and the main house spreads a garden where you can feel the changing seasons.

I was drawn to the cute hanaan cake (flower-shaped bean paste cake) here, so I made a reservation and visited. Maybe because of the time of my reservation, it was Sunday but the shop was not too crowded, and it was easy to spend time there even on my own. This time the hanaan was a sunflower, but the other designs like cherry blossoms and cosmos are all beautiful and lovely too, so I would like to visit in different seasons as well.

When I went to Kyoto, I stopped by here for a break. I had tea and dango (sweet rice dumplings). Both were very good, and they also served yatsuhashi senbei (cinnamon rice crackers) on the house. It did not have a noisy atmosphere, and the shop had a lot of charm. The food was delicious. Thank you very much.

Homemade bread and pizza made from scratch from the dough, along with Homemade pasta lasagna, are popular. There are always 15 or more kinds of bread, and six kinds of pizza ranging from classics to more unusual options.
The “lasagna” is made entirely in-house, from the pasta to the sauce, and offers the kind of flavor you only get from something Homemade.

The dessert menu offers a wide range of options, including ice cream and French toast. One of the most popular choices is the "cake set," with 6〜8 kinds of daily cakes always available.
Part of the fun is choosing from that day’s lineup, which may include New York cheesecake and gateau chocolat.

Because it is on a slightly tucked-away street from Kawaramachi Station, it felt like a bit of a hidden gem, and I was able to spend a pretty relaxed time there. The second floor is the eat-in space, but there does not seem to be an elevator, so people with strollers or travelers may want to be careful. It is a calm, relaxing space where you can enjoy tasty crepes and take your time, so I would like to visit again.

The vivid blue leaf was beautiful, and the only drawback was that I did not want to ruin it, so I could Nakanaka bring myself to take the first sip. They also pay attention to details with Valentino cups and saucers. The yellow peach pie was very juicy, with sweet yellow peaches and a crisp, fragrant pie crust that were a perfect match.

If you're pairing it with Danish pastry, matcha (green tea) is the way to go. Its nice bitterness and deep flavor go perfectly with the rich butter, creating a tea time that feels very Kyoto-like. It is fragrant with a clean finish, so it paired especially well with the sweet Danish pastry. This is a lovely cafe where you can enjoy freshly baked Danish pastry and spend a relaxing time.
