Ichikawaya Coffee
Kyoto Prefecture, Japan • Cafe
A sandwich cafe located in a 200-year-old wooden building famous for its fruit sandwiches near Kiyomizudera. The history of this space is evident in the heavy-colored wooden pillars and tables. It's truly precious to have a cup of coffee in such a wonderful space. It might be considered a luxury only available in Kyoto. The egg sandwich and the seasonal fruit sandwich are the most famous. I chose the fruit sandwich. Strawberries, peaches, oranges, and other seasonal fruits combined with whipped cream make the sandwich. Currently, there's a sandwich with grapes and Shine Muscat. The non-sweet cream retains its flavor, while the fruit's sweetness is well-preserved. The hidden pear inside is a kick point! The drip coffee offered is also an art. I don't understand why every coffee I have on this trip is so satisfying. The beans are roasted on-site, and three types of beans are prepared. Since there's a set menu with sandwiches and coffee, there's no burden. Although an early visit is essential, it's still a place worth visiting!
