Was looking forward to enjoying Japanese desserts at this cafe but we were disappointed to find out that the cafe is closed every Wed and Thu. Only the shop was open. So we just ended up buying a few items.

I received the special warabi mochi, which is made only after receiving an order and can only be tasted in the store because it quickly goes past its ripeness. You can enjoy your time relaxing while looking at the quaint building and Japanese garden. This time, I ordered warabi mochi and chilled zenzai, and was able to respect the elegant and delicate handiwork of the craftsmen and appreciate the value of living in Kyoto.

It feels a little intimidating, but the atmosphere is quiet and I like it. I bought Akazayamochi. Each piece costs 180 yen including tax.
Akazaya mochi is similar to Acharya mochi. This is also light and has an elegant taste.
There seems to be a cafe nearby, so I'd like to go there. The staff is also very friendly and I would like to go to this store again.
