Fresh ohagi - Edit
(Take note that this is not a purely vegan traditional cafe. They serve animal milk!)
Read moreTheir ohagi was really good and fresh, and the amount was just right. The taste of the anko was really delicious. I also liked their gozenshiruko. Everything was reasonably priced considering the location and the quality of the food. Their service was not that great though (but I would probably consider it good if they provided the same level of service outside Japan). Would’ve given them a 4 if they were purely vegan.

Must visit - Edit
Traditional Japanese. It's a small place with just a few tables but it's a great place for dessert or breakfast. Tea is complementary.

Cute and authentic - Edit
A wonderful teahouse with tasty wagoshi! We enjoyed our time here drinking tea and trying the different wagoshi. Great, authentic ambiance, not touristy at all. Very much recommended!
Read moreThe HappyCow location is a bit off, so at first we walked past it. Google maps has a picture of the front entrance.
Pros: Nice wagoshi, Not touristy

Very nice ☺️ - Edit
Small place, very old, but very delightful. Coming here is a nice little mini Japanese tea experience. Nice place for a sweet Japanese snack with tea and matcha

Definitely not to miss - Edit
Tiny historic tea house, this place is definitely a must if you are visiting the Highashiyama district in Kyoto. The seating area is very small, but never gets too crowded. You will be served green tea or matcha, with some simple yet delicious wagashi made with rice and anko (azuki bean jam). Everything is vegan.
