Botanical teas and thoughtfully paired sweets, between walks around Kyoto.

Try the five-sweets selection, tea with gelato, or rooibos tiramisu. A soup curry inspired by yakuzen—food prepared with traditional dietary ideas in mind—is served from 10:00 to 15:00. The adjoining shop sells teas to enjoy at home.
