The Iyemon Cafe blends the peaceful aura of wabi sabi with modern minimalist chic popular with the latest generation of designers and twenty somethings in the heart of Kyoto's business district. Whether sipping afternoon tea with a garden view or people watching over an alfresco supper, the cafe specializes in Japanese tea and traditional sweet made with azuki red beans and mochi. There are also a selection of European influenced desserts too, served with Japanese sensibilities.
It is just 3 minutes walk from exit 6 of Karasuma Oike subway station, where the 2 subway lines of Kyoto meet up.
