GRAND MARBLE Gion — Restaurant in Kyoto

Review in 2024: Yes! I finally visited the shop in person! It is located in a historic building in Gion. Cafe on the first floor. Parfait was brilliantly made, beautifully served. Toast is just okay, maybe soaked with strawberry Mont Blanc on the top. The Mont Blanc tastes good though.

Seating and service is good.

Got some individually packed danish bread as souvenir at the ground floor.

Review in 2022: With travel restrictions, it is yet to visit the shop physically. Luckily, I am managed to buy these breads from Hong Kong. They are not cheap and it worth the premium.

The danishes are great, even better after toasted on one side to enjoy both crispy and softness in one bite. Sweet favours tasted a bit better.

Packaging is good and perfect as...

Disappointing “make your own matcha” experience – Not Worth It

We were really looking forward to this “make your own matcha” experience, but it turned out to be a huge letdown. For the price they charge, I expected something a little more care and authenticity. Instead, it felt poorly executed, with very little guidance or explanation - they let you follow a YouTube video.

The materials provided were basic, and the whole process didn’t feel like a true cultural experience—more like a tourist trap designed to get as much money as possible for minimal effort. There are so many other incredible things to do in Kyoto for the same (or less) money. Save your time and...

想像よりずっと良い‼️祇園の穴場カフェで遅めの朝ごはん。

久しぶりに花見小路を散策。 昔は花街だったこの辺り。 改めてみるとその名残を感じる建物も多く、マンホールでさえ素敵なデザイン。

四条通りからすぐのカフェ。 白い暖簾とカタカナで店名が書かれた提灯が風に揺れています。

京都人なら誰でも知ってる、マーブルデニッシュのお店が運営していて、1階はショップなのは有名ですが、2階に「ちから」というカフェがあります。

階段を上がると、お店の方が柔らかい笑顔で対応。 雰囲気のある照明や空間はデザイン的。

前から気になっていた 【とろーりチーズの厚切りデニッシュ】1210円 を遅めのモーニングで頂きます🙏✨

ココットでジュワー… と音をたてて届きます！ なんてこんがりした良い匂い〜✨

線の細いナイフとフォークを使って切ると、とろ〜っと伸びるチーズ。 た…たまらん…‼️

頂きまーす！ はぅ… 分厚いデニッシュ生地がふわふわ！ 純白の天使が口の中に舞い降りたよう✨ ココットでカリカリになった底面がピザのようでまた良い！ うまー…

なんとそこへ、黒七味とハチミツを味変的にかけます！ するとピザ感が更に強くなって‼️ 和風のクワトロフォルマッジみたい！ 黒七味も京都老舗の原了郭さんので間違いない✨

ドリンクは 【抹茶 祇園辻利...
