  Stumbled upon this shop while on a stroll in Higashiyama. The Uji Macha Kintoki Kakikori was delicious. Rich in flavor, the shiratama soft and chewy, and anko nice and sweet. Definitely a must visit when in Kyoto :)

  Having nearly 500 years of history, the environment of this restaurant is different from others. I have been coming here since about 10 years ago. I order matcha shaved ice every time and never been disappointed. A polite German young man works here this time. I can see the old shop changing but in a good way.👍

  Located near by Yasaka shrine. Cozy place and feeling Japanese-modern taste. Matcha-parfait and ice shave were awesome. It’s not for tourists too much, more natural cafe. You should go definitely there both Yasaka shrine and the cafe.

  Nikenchaya has been here at the side entrance to Yasaka Shrine for almost 500 years. Today the storehouse is a beautifully lit cafe. I had the Oshiruko, a red bean soup with fresh Kyoto gluten and mochi balls, but what’s famous here is the Dengaku Tofu, tofu covered in their special peppery sauce.
