Along Shirakawa River in Gion is a preserved historical area of traditional Kyoto wooden townhouses. It’s a marvelous spot with hints of history showcased through the structures. In the corner of this area is a dessert shop called, Gion-Komori. This is a popular place among local young people, tourists, and foreign visitors, for one can enjoy true Kyoto sweets in a historic Japanese setting. Guests are reminded that they are truly experiencing Kyoto when they visit this cafe.
A satisfying ensemble of delicate green tea ice cream, bouncy Warabi-mochi, and vanilla ice cream. Try to indulge it before the ice cream melts.
Enjoy this bowl with big pieces of Warabi-mochi, chestnuts, green tea ice cream, Red bean jam, Agar, Green tea jelly, and Shiratama (mochi). Pour the sweet molasses according to your taste.
A bitter drink that creates perfect balance when enjoyed with some sweets. Add syrup to make it less bitter.
English menu with photos are available. If you want a cold dessert, we recommend the parfait or "Anmitsu" the items under "Red Bean Jam, Agar". For a hot dessert, we recommend "Zenzai".
