A café with refreshing greens, located by the approach of Fushimi Inari Shrine. The specialties are coffee popular in Kyoto and sweet with illustration of torii. You can feel easy by greens on its terrace. Here's a lesser known place with fewer people than the approach.◎You can gather tourist information in English. They use 'WEEKENDERS COFFEE' which is popular in Kyoto city.

Well sold at handmade market, mitarashi dango (rice cakes with sweetened soy sauce) named 'Pan-dango'. This shop offers freshly grilled one on the original panda plate, which makes it cuter. Not only its cute looks, I recommend it because of the deliciousness.◎Open: only Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Only available while the stocks last. There're no seats, but you can eat freshly grilled soft ones. Also they have ordinary mitarashi dango.

After passing through the stately gate, there was a cafe and a garden in a renovated storehouse, and a garden spread out on the way to the detached building through the mansion. The creek flows and I am excited to leave. Five-tiered afternoon tea in May and June, Kyoto and KASANE. It seems that the five-tiered jug is an image of a five-storied pagoda. The green leaves that spread out in front of me were beautiful, swaying in the wind.

Kissa Zou is a cafe with good-old atmosphere that has just opened on 4/11! Their best-seller ice cream soda has a variation of red, blue and green, and has a lovely 'cookie of Zou (elephant)' as a topping. An-butter Toast (azuki bean jam with butter) for only this Kyoto store is best for breakfast!

It's enjoyable to roll and grill the rice dumplings on Shichirin clay stove by myself. The lovely rice dumplings are while one and green (yomogi) mugwort one. After it's grilled enough, put the mitarashi (sweet soy sauce) sauce or sweet azuki bean jam on them. The beautiful garden is one of the attractions, too.

How about visiting Chushojima this spring? Some kinds of sake and Kyoto cuisine at a restaurant of Gekkeikan Brewery can make you feel the arrival of spring earlier.◎Though Chushojima has many sake breweries, here's the best for lunch and dinner. You can visit at ease because they prepare some sweet cocktails of Japanese sake.

Hanaikada

You can enjoy a set meal made from the locally grown foodstuffs. Their yuba (a skin forming on the surface of the soybean milk) is very excellent. You should visit here when you came to Arashiyama.
