A traditional Japanese sweets shop the host visits every time he is in Kyoto. It is most famous for kuzukiri noodles dipped in a sweet syrup.
A matcha cafe known for its thick matcha tiramisu and a loaded matcha parfait. The video recommends this Sannenzaka branch over the main Kawaramachi store, which has much longer lines.
A Kyoto-born soufflé pancake shop in Kyoto Tower Sando. Its pancakes are slow-grilled with Kyoto eggs and flour, and the matcha fountain pancake is served with uji matcha ice cream.
A peaceful, reservation-only coffee shop in a local part of town that sells out daily. In good weather they pack you a picnic to enjoy on the nearby river.
A spacious matcha and coffee cafe where you roast your own sweet dumplings at the table. The seating is private and intimate.
