Coffee Stand ReUnion Arashiyama WEST is a small coffee stand outside the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto, near the river and the train station. It serves coffee and matcha drinks, including americano, espresso, and strawberry matcha latte, along with baked lemon cake and cheesecake sticks, and the syrups are made in-house. Seating sits under trees set back from the main street, and ordered drinks come out quickly. Because it is tucked behind the main street, the location is easy to miss on a first visit.
