KISSHOKARYO KYOTO

KISSHOKARYO KYOTO is a cafe near Jion-in in Gion, Kyoto, serving desserts such as parfaits made with roasted soybean flour and warabimochi. The signature chocogashi kinako parfait contains vanilla ice cream, soy milk blancmange, hojicha jelly, crunch, and meringue, and diners adjust the flavor with self-roasted soybean flour and black honey at the table. The first floor is a souvenir shop and the second floor has cafe seating, opening at 11 a.m., with waits of 10 to 30 minutes reported. Because there are not many cafe seats, wait times grow longer in the afternoon.
