We had just arrived in Kyoto, were hungry and struggling to find vegetarian food. Thankful we found this! The omirice was great and everyone else had different meals and loved them all. It was affordable and clean and the shopkeepers are so kind. Our kids loved it and insisted we come back to leave a 5⭐ review.

The owners, Yuji and Maki, are super nice and have an awesome space. It's clear that Yuji puts a lot of care into his craft. Both his pour overs and espresso drinks are excellent.
