Green Tea Shaved Ice @ Restaurant Kikusui, Gion Shijo, Kyoto

Mom and I decided to stop by this shop that's a few minutes from our hotel. The restaurant looks very posh from the outside but it is actually a family style restaurant that serves Western food.

It's nearing snack time and Mom was craving a sweet snack. We decided to stop by here when the rain started pouring down heavily. Good thing we didn't get caught in the rain.

I had the cold red bean soup with whipped cream and green tea ice cream. It also had a nice of mochi and some jelly inside. The cute little persimmon there is a wagashi that I got from the market. It tasted very well with the green tea. No wonder people love enjoying this as an afternoon snack.


Inside the wagashi is....you guessed it! Red bean paste :)
