Shaved ice has become a year-round treat. The menu at this new location in Kyoto, which opened from Chiba, features not only the standard menu, but also seasonal items that are sure to be a hit! We also recommend the winter-only pancakes, which have many fans from the previous store.

［The shop opened a 10-minute walk from Nijo Castle. In the store, which retains the atmosphere of a traditional Kyoto townhouse, you can enjoy the cakes and baked sweets while being comforted by the shop's signature dog, Komugi. The owner has many years of experience honing his skills at a cake store in Osaka. The reason why he decided to create a café-style store rather than a cake store specializing in takeout is because he wants to talk with customers over the counter.

Editor M's recommendation.
The signature dog, Komugi, which also gives the store its name, welcomes you with open arms. The sweets that make the most of the deliciousness of the ingredients are so delicious and not too rich that you could eat as many as you want! The personality of the owner is also heartwarming.

The small dumplings baked to a fragrant aroma and served with a gently sweet sauce made from brown sugar are exquisite. The owner has a background as an actor and dancer.
