Please come to this place if you are in Kyoto. They close at 5pm, me and my husband rushed via cab over around 430pm and arrived perhaps slightly before 5pm. As the next day we are leaving Kyoto and not sure when’s the next time we will be back. We tried both shops, two different shops, one left one right, we can’t read jap, so I only differentiate the shops by their tea pots 🤣 and i personally prefers this. The taste is different, I like it more. Not that the other shop isn’t nice, (the other shop not Kazariya taste normal but never failed, but also nothing special ) Kazariya is way better. If have time just try both. Staff service is extremely good, we ordered around 455pm, the lady staff did told us it’s closing but still allow us to eat there as we assured her we will be done fast. I am glad I did came all the way here thou cab fare is expensive. Love the experience.
