Fodor's Expert Review Zen Café

Nestling right in the heart of Kyoto's traditional geisha district, this café serves up traditional Japanese sweets and desserts in a stylish minimalist setting. Living up to its name, the quiet and cosy space is styled like a modern art gallery, and is a great place to sip on a green tea or coffee while sampling delicate and seasonal treats such as kuzumochi (a jelly-like mochi cake). An oasis of sophisticated calm among the hustle and bustle of Gion.
