A local would say...

One of Gion's oldest sweet shops — the cold kuzukiri noodles with black sugar dip are unlike anything else.

This Gion institution is one of Kyoto's oldest and best-known sweet shops, with a lovely tearoom hidden in the back. Order the cold kuzukiri — transparent arrowroot noodles served with a sweet black sugar dipping sauce that slides across your palate like silk. Or simply enjoy a cup of matcha paired with a traditional wagashi sweet. The building itself breathes centuries of Gion elegance, and watching geiko hurry past the window only adds to the atmosphere.
