The wagyu cutlet sandwich is also popular, with a taste that goes beyond the confines of a coffee shop, as if you were eating at an authentic wagyu beef restaurant.

It is a self-serve style café where you place the dumplings on a shichirin and grill them yourself.
The small shichirin is cute in itself, but even more interesting is the fact that the dumplings are baked by you. The grilled dumplings are served with anko (red bean paste) or mitarashi sauce. They also serve parfait and morning dishes, which are also delicious.
If you have a seat with a view of the garden, you can even take a photo with the Japanese garden in the background.

The storefront also looks good!

The store itself is also a good enough spot to be a reflection of the city, and the majestic gate is also very Kyoto-like, as the store is housed in a renovated old Kyoto minka (traditional Japanese house).
There is also vivid artwork on the walls, which looks quite nice when photographed with a kimono.
