A popular kissaten (Japanese coffee shop) that's been in business since 1948, best known for their Jelly Punch which is a fizzy soda drink with large chunks of colorful flavored jelly cubes and some fruit, which was introduced to their menu in 1978. The interior decor has a dark, retro theme with carved wooden accents all throughout the cafe from the benches to the ceiling beams.


Address: 〒600-8001 Kyoto, Shimogyo Ward, Shincho, 95





They also have a few other colorful and fun drinks incorporating jelly on the menu.

Since it's quite popular, there may be a bit of a wait for a seat, especially if you want to sit on the second floor.
