Gion Tsujiri - Kyoto Station Hachijo Entrance — Restaurant in Kyoto

I’ve already tried Tsujiri in their Gion store, and today I wished to have their matcha parfait around the train station, so I came to this address. The staff at order & cashier was just not being cooperative. I tried to communicate with my limited Japanese and fluent English, and he’s just “not looking” at his customer - me, but at my husband. I repeated so many times my wish of order, and he just mumbled at my husband (who is not Japanese but French!) he never looked at me (even a bit pretending that I’m a strange existence) and not even trying to discuss with me what I was trying to order. I felt little respected the whole time and left without ordering. What kind of this service is he offering? ...

Highly recommend you try their ice cream at least once. The matcha flavor is very strong, but not bitter. Their matcha soft cream float is what I would recommend, as it is very refreshing on a hot day. You can dine-in and sit on the bench to eat your treat, or if you take it to-go, they put a lid on it to prevent any spillage. It's located near the shinkansen ticket area, so before you travel on from Kyoto, I would give this place a try. They are extremely quick (it seems by the time you finish paying, they have your order ready). P.S. This place does not carry their full menu, so please be aware of that when you visit. They also sell matcha and matcha goods...

Love this tea shop!!! We came across Tsujiri in the morning at Kyoto Station... We saw they sold Hojicha soft serve and immediately decided to have ice cream for breakfast 😬 The hojicha soft serve was very tasty and soft. My son decided to go with Matcha float. While we were consuming our “breakfast “, the salespeople at the store kept serving us different types of teas that they sold. We ended up buying some high quality teas home.

Overall: Price:$-$$ Service: 5stars Food: 5stars

Highly recommend...
