Rakusho Review
This is an excellent spot to recharge while wandering through the cobbled lanes of Gion. The house specialty is warabi-mochi, a treat made from steamed and pounded rice that has a gelatinlike consistency. The green color and subtle spice comes from the mountain herb yomogi. The dish is served on a mountain of golden kinako, made from toasted soybeans, to add a delightful sweetness. Don't feel shy about licking your bamboo spoon to enjoy the last bit. The restaurant also serves ice creams and a variety of other Japanese treats. You'll find it on the northern end of Higashiyama's cobbled Nene-no-michi.
