Great cozy restaurant to visit when you also visit Shinshouin temple or pay respect to Matsu-hime's grave. Nice and friendly owner (?) and very tasty home cooked style curry.

A stylish café attached to Shinshō-in. You can have curry and parfaits I had the Matsuhime-sama zenzai! I wonder if the matcha has a bit of aojiru mixed in? It's not too bitter, so don't worry. After paying your respects at the temple, you can take a relaxing breather.

The seasonal flowers decorating the tables, the carefully made dishes and desserts, and the lovely tableware are soothing. The staff were kind and courteous too, and even as a woman dining alone I could eat at ease. I'd like to visit again.

I looked it up on Google during the summer heat and went. It felt like a sweets shop inside a temple, with a nice atmosphere, and the service was very courteous too. However, the shaved ice looked kind of like half of it had fallen off, which was a bit disappointing, but it was delicious.

This is a temple café in the grounds of Shinshō-in, a Sōtō Zen temple. I thought the storefront would have a Japanese feel, but surprisingly it had a Western-style atmosphere. Despite the Western-style look, it isn't flashy — I thought it was a lovely café with a chic, calm atmosphere. This time I ordered the chickpea curry and iced coffee & anmitsu. The curry had lots of vegetables, wasn't too spicy, and was delicious. The kanten in the anmitsu was 100% tengusa and had a satisfying texture♪ It seems like nothing else on the menu here would be a miss either, so I'd like to go eat again (lol)
