8 recommended places for ‘eating while waliking’ around Kiyomizu-dera Temple

8 recommended places for ‘eating while waliking’ around Kiyomizu-dera Temple

2025-03-05



    There are three typical slopes on the approach to Kiyomizu-Dera Temple;
    “Ichinenzaka,” “Ninenzaka,” and “Sanneizaka”.
    We'd like to introduce 8 recommended gourmet places that we actually went to and enjoyed, with reviews.
    Popular fruit sandwiches, mitarashi dango, and shaved ice with espuma on top etc.


    I want to go to Kyoto and wear a kimono♪ I want to wear a kimono even in summer♪
    But summer is hot, isn't it?
    Yukata is perfect for hot summer.

    Recommended Gourmet Eats at Ichinenzaka

    The Unir Coffee Senses

    Colorful and beautiful fruit sandwiches, available only on Saturdays and Sundays♪
    You can take a relaxing break in the spacious restaurant.


    Recommended Gourmet Eats in Ninenzsaka

    Kasagi-ya


    There is a story takehisa yumeji, Japanese painter and poet of the Taisho era, liked this restaurant very much,
    so even moved to next door.
    A traditional sweet shop with oshiruko (sweet red bean paste) and shaved ice.
    Take a break with weak matcha and o-hagi red bean mochi. (^^)

    Akoya-jaya

    Ochazuke buffet restaurant.
    All-you-can-eat rice and 20 kinds of tsukemono, Japanese pickles!
    It opens at 11:00,
    but a board for writing your name will be served from 10:00 a.m.
    After you write your name on the board, you can walk around Kiyomizu-dera area,
    the reason why it is also recommended for lunch.
    You can have a monaka(bean jam filled wafer cake) for desert.
    They let you fill monaka with red bean paste yourself.

    Sannenzaka's recommended food crawl places

    Kirakuan

    Kirakuan, sister store of Rental Kimono Okamoto (*^^)
    A variety of croquettes and soft serve ice cream but Maiko Han-yaki is the most popular one.
    You can enjoy freshly baked hot Maiko-yaki cake.
    You will want to drop by as soon as you change into kimono.

    Umezono

    Mitarashi dango in a cute bale shape, which is a little unusual.
    Cute small one bite size. You can eat as many as you like.
    When you get tired of walking up the slope, take a rest at this sweet shop.

    Ukiiya Kiyomizu Yoshiharuan

    Fluffy egg and natto meringue on top
    The unique specialty of Ukiya「Yuki Soba」.
    Ukiten-soba with tempura on top is easy to eat even in the hot summer.

    MATCHA HOUSE Matchakan Kyoto Kiyomizu Sannenzaka

    Matcha House is popular for its matcha tiramisu, but its shaved ice is also excellent.
    The shaved ice has a soft and fluffy espuma topping and is filled with sweet red bean paste.
    It is also very delicious if you pour brown sugar syrup (served separately)
    to change the taste.

    Clang-clang. The sound of geta (Japanese wooden clogs) echoing in the air.
    Please take a stroll in yukata.
    Kyoto is a town where you would look great in kimono. ♪(^^♪ .
