(THISIS)SHIZEN

뚜래블러

I visited this place after being captivated by the visual of the bud ice cream I saw on Instagram. It's a space filled with numerous plants, resembling both a florist and a cafe.

📍SHIZEN is located in Shinfukan. With the entry of Ace Hotel last year, it opened again as a newly refurbished cultural complex. There are about 20 stores and commercial facilities, making it fun to look around.

The space itself is very attractive, with the cafe interior also being wonderful. Various plants and artworks make it feel like you've stepped into an art gallery. In addition to the bouquet ice cream topped with buds, there's a wide selection of other menus.

The signature menu used to be a set of five dango types served omakase-style with various sauces. Now, the sales of ice cream seem overwhelmingly high. The ice bouquet consists of vanilla ice cream topped with a bud made of bean paste. It tasted better than expected, although the price was higher than expected.

Even if not specifically this cafe, the cultural space is worth visiting, so it would be good to stop by Shinfukan if you are in Kyoto.
