Story & Recommendation
Enjoy one-of-a-kind desserts in a traditional Kyoto townhouse
ZenKashoin are a Japanese/Western confectioner who specializes mainly in the Portuguese derived sponge cake, Castella.
ZenKashoin was founded on the concept of “Strive to befit both our flowers and our sweets with a state deserving of them.” In addition to this, they also strive to be a place that offers hospitality together with their sweets, without pretension and vanity, just as they are.
Staying true to their foundational concepts, they pay special attention to simplicity in their desserts and utilize the high-quality that comes from that to create sweets that contain an unparalleled simplicity.
In the cafe space, Zen cafe, you can sit back and enjoy some ZenKashoin specialty desserts as you peer out on the beautiful Nakaniwa garden from the wide-open 300-year-old Machiya townhouse.
