Hatoya Ryoyousha Arashiyama Main Store

Hatoya Ryoyusha Arashiyama is a cafe by the river in Arashiyama, Kyoto, selling matcha drinks, ice cream, and dango. For the matcha latte, the amount of milk and sugar can be adjusted, and matcha whisked to order is poured over the milk. On weekends a line forms and orders can take a long time. The matcha is bitter rather than sweet, so people who dislike bitterness are better off avoiding the unsweetened version.
