Elegant cafe serving an 18 piece breakfast. We stopped in for some drinks to go. Iced matcha latte with brown sugar syrup, matcha latte and a watermelon juice. Also treated ourselves to some Kuzumochi pudding. All was delightful and flavourful. Staff was also very attentive and friendly, and happy to serve in English. Highly recommend!

Got here after 8:30 when a waitlist had already started. I got seated after about 30mins and orders the Tsumigi Original Breakfast (the Japanese style breakfast set with 18 items) and it was so worth the wait :) The atmosphere was very calm and there was ample room for diners to enjoy their meal.

Very lovely restaurant offering a beautiful Japanese breakfast with a bowl of rice porridge, soup and 16 little dishes (14 savory and 2 sweet). It was a wonderful way to start the day. Wish they offered additional porridge as some of the dishes were very well seasoned (ume plum and meintaiko). Definitely worth braving the Tokyo subway system during morning rush hour!

Got table 18 for the 18 breakfast! We made a tourist mistake a rocked up at 10:30am with no reservation and guess what, it was sold out 🥲 But luckily they allow (at least when we were there) to make a reservation for the next day! It was amazing to see it within the temple grounds. Returned the next day and heaps of people were just waiting but with a reservation we just strolled in, sat and ordered our 18 set meal. Definitely an experience to have a range of Japanese breakfast items to taste in a cafe style but to me its a once and done as while well cooked and presented, wasn’t a fan of everyone of the 18 meals. More of a photo op experience with a focus on food variety.
