“KUMONOCHACAFE  KIYOMIZU SANNENZAKA Shop”(雲ノ茶 KUMONOCHA　清水三年坂店) reopened in March 2022 on the approach leading to Kiyomizu Temple, one of the popular sightseeing spots in Kyoto. You can enjoy the sweets and drinks made with Uji Matcha in a Stylish Japanese space. They all look too pretty to eat, and they have been a hot topic for taking great photos. Please stop by this store when you visit shrines and temples.

As you might know, many cafes and shops offer Kyoto-style Matcha sweets, but this time, we’re going to the “KUMONOCHACAFE KIYOMIZU SANNENZAKA Shop”, which is located near the World Heritage site Kiyomizu Temple. With the concept of ‘Relaxing tea, in Kyoto’, this shop offers cute sweets and drinks. The most popular menu is ‘KUMONO set’ with a cake and drink. The cloudy-shaped ‘KUMONO mousse’ has azuki beans inside a fluffy matcha mousse, and bitter matcha and mild sweet adzuki beans are the perfect combinations. Carefully selected Uji matcha is also used for the drink, ‘Matcha Latte’. Cloudy-shaped latte art is depicted on only hot drinks, and the look of shaking every time you pick it up is so cute, so it makes your feel warm just only seeing it. This mousse is offering a limited seasonal version, so it’s also so nice that you can enjoy it no matter how many times you go.

Inside this shop is simple, however, it makes you feel the Japanese atmosphere by seeing the paper lanterns, circle windows and small Karesansui (Zen garden). It has a stylish interior which you wonder where to take pictures of. Since you have come all the way to Kyoto, let’s stop by a Kyoto-style cafe.
