    A nice townhouse cafe. It's hard to tell what kind of shop it is from the outside, but if you make a reservation, you can get a massage, purchase the works on display, and take part in a monthly flower class. . The price is also reasonable, at 600 yen for a pot of hojicha + tea sweets. Ginger ale and lemonade are homemade, can be made hot, and are very delicious. Sometimes there are limited edition sweets, so it's a good idea to ask the shop owner.

    西陣から少し歩いて小休憩したく、訪れました。併設されているギャラリーでは、色絵とつるし飾りが展示され、お正月から雛飾りの間の和やかな雰囲気に😊坪庭もステキでした。私は、和菓子とお薄を頂きました。和の落ち着いた空間に店主さんの優しいお人柄が滲み出て、ほっとする和ティストのカフェです。和菓子もお薄も美味しかったですよ😋ごちそうさまでした!また、伺います。

    One of the best cafes in Kyoto. If you are a person who seeks a relaxing time with themselves into an authentic Japanese setting with a humble view to reflect upon your own thoughts, this is the place to do it. Eri and her husband were wonderful hosts and I look forward to see them again once I returned in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu!

    The matcha I drank while looking out at the garden at a Kyoto-style machiya cafe was very delicious. A few months ago, I stopped by Kobunsha, a Kyomachiya cafe with a gallery attached. I was a little nervous when I entered the machiya cafe, which is located behind a large noren curtain, but the owner was very friendly, so I felt at ease even though it was my first time. You can enjoy a relaxing time while enjoying a cup of matcha while looking at the works on display and the garden where you can feel the four seasons. It's a little hard to find because it's tucked away in a residential area, but Seimei Shrine is also nearby, so if you stop by during your sightseeing trip, you'll get a better feel of Kyoto.

    (Translated by Google) I heard it for the first time. As the word of mouth says, the tea you have while looking at the beautiful garden will calm you down in an elegant time. It's a beautiful space with works by various artists on display. I would like to ask again because the host who serves me is a good talker and a detailed person. (Original) 初めて伺った。口コミの通り美しいお庭を眺めながらいただくお茶は優雅な時間で落ち着く。 いろんな作家さんの作品も展示されていて素敵な空間。またサーブしてくださるご亭主さんがお話上手できめ細やかな方でまた伺いたい。

    (Translated by Google) Kyomachiya cafe where you can enjoy flower petal mochi There is also a gallery, where you can appreciate wonderful Japanese tableware. We had the best New Year's time with white miso ozoni, flower petal mochi, and thin tea while looking out at the inner garden. It was very delicious Usucha is served in the tea room by the owner's son. The day before, I told him that I had bad knees and that it was difficult for me to sit in the seiza style. I am very happy to go to a wonderful shop 💕 It's a restaurant I want to bring my friends to. (Original) 花びら餅が頂ける京町家カフェ ギャラリーも併設しており素敵な和食器を鑑賞出来ました 坪庭を眺めながらの白味噌のお雑煮、花びら餅、お薄茶を頂き 最高のお正月時間を過ごしました とても美味しかった お薄茶は茶室で店主の息子さんのお点前 前日に膝が悪いので正座が困難な事を伝えていたら、和室用意椅子が準備されていた 素敵なお店に行けてとても幸せ💕 友人を是非連れて行きたいお店です

    (Translated by Google) It is a nice shop of Kyomachiya. I think it's good that the menu of delicious sweets and the closeness of the distance where you can easily talk with the shop owner or the craftsman who came by chance. I will come back to play. (Original) 京町家の素敵なお店です。 美味しいお菓子などのメニューと、店主さんや偶然いらした工芸作家さんと気軽に話せる距離の近さが良いところだと思います。また遊びに伺います。

    (Translated by Google) A Japanese cafe in a townhouse at the end of an alley, typical of Kyoto. While gazing at the garden in early winter, I had hojicha (roasted green tea) and camellia nerikiri. It was a luxurious time in a chartered state for one customer. (Original) 京都らしい、路地の先にある町屋の和喫茶。 初冬の庭を眺めながら、ほうじ茶と椿の練りきりをいただいた。 お客さん自分ひとりの貸切状態で、贅沢な時間でした。

    It’s not just a place to have tea or coffee(sweet as well), but also a place where it feels like a home to me. It was my first time in Kyoto when I visited this place, now I came back to stay in this beautiful city. Nice Kyoto people are the most important reason for me to move here temporarily, and 宇野貴佳 the owner of this place and his wife are without a doubt the kindest people I have ever met in Kyoto.

    今年、最初のカフェ巡りです。上京にある「好文舎」さんに伺いました。お正月の特別メニューの白味噌󠄀のお雑煮とあんバタートーストとコーヒーをいただきました。コーヒーは苦味と酸味のバランスのいいブレンドでした。和室でお正月気分を味わえました。

    (Translated by Google) It is a cafe where you take off your shoes and enter! It's a space that makes the most of the goodness of a Japanese-style room. ! The coffee had a bitter taste and was a great match for Japanese sweets! It seems that flower arrangement and tea parties are also held, so if you are interested, please come d(˙꒳​˙* ) (Original) 靴を脱いで入るCafeです!和室の良さを最大限に活用した空間で、ちゃぶ台に座布団といった落ち着く空間です!! コーヒーは苦味もあり和菓子にとても合う味わいでした! 生け花やお茶会もされているみたいですので、ご興味ある方は是非d(˙꒳​˙* )

    (Translated by Google) Can I come in first? I was a little confused, but when I went inside, a very friendly shopkeeper guided me. The homemade shiso juice had just the right amount of sweetness, and the color was beautiful like a jewel, and it was very delicious. My friend's iced coffee was also delicious with the scent of coffee beans at the end. The Aonori sweets served were also of good quality, and I was surprised at how delicious they were. When I asked the owner about recommended shops, he kindly told me, including the regulars. I'm really glad I came because Kyoto is the only place where I can have such stylish exchanges! I thought. Thank you very much for the wonderful time. (Original) 最初は入ってもいいのかな、、?と少し戸惑いましたが、中に入るととても気さくな店主さんが案内してくださいました。自家製のシソジュースは甘味もちょうどよく、色も宝石のように美しく、とても美味しかったです。友人のアイスコーヒーもコーヒー豆の味が最後にふわっと香り、美味しかったです。サービスの青のりのお菓子も品がよく、あまりの美味しさに驚きました。店主さんにおすすめのお店などを聞いてみると、常連さんも交えて丁寧に教えてくださいました。こういった粋な交流ができるのは京都ならではのことで本当に来て良かった!と思いました。楽しいひと時を本当にありがとうございました。

    This is a cafe where you can experience an old Japanese house. You can sit on the tatami mats and calmly drink tea while looking out at the garden. It is not easy for travelers to enter old buildings in other countries, so it was nice to be able to experience Japanese culture firsthand. It is both an art gallery and a cafe, so you can enjoy paintings as well. The price was reasonable and the tea and dessert were delicious. The owner was very kind and told us various stories, so it was a very enjoyable time. (It would be good if you can speak a little Japanese.) He recommended a nearby restaurant that locals, not tourists, go to, so I had a delicious dinner. I plan to visit again when I go to Kyoto again.

    While looking for a place to rest, I happened to see it on the map so I went there. It's quiet and cozy, and the atmosphere is the best! The owner was friendly and I ate the recommended menu, but the bitter matcha tea and sweet snack of the day were the best!! I plan to visit again. Thank you! Highly recommended!
