Kyo-Baum Kiyomizu Store

Kyo-Baum Kiyomizu Store is a dessert shop on the road up to Kiyomizu-dera that sells matcha baumkuchen and ice cream. Its main item stacks matcha and milk soft serve on a baumkuchen layered with matcha and soy milk, coated in a thin matcha chocolate shell. Small pieces of baumkuchen are available for tasting at the entrance, and the shop is open until 5 p.m. and offers tax-free shopping. The second floor is closed off and there is no indoor seating, so ice cream must be eaten at the outdoor seats in the heat.
