Since its establishment in 1940, Inoda Coffee has been bustling with customers as one of Kyoto's representative coffee shops. The main building, with its glass-walled courtyard and comfortable atrium, and the old building, which recreates the interior of the building when it was first established, each offer different atmospheres.
The "Kyo Breakfast Set," available only at three locations in the city, is a hotel-like morning meal featuring an original boneless ham commissioned from a ham factory in Chigasaki, a fresh vegetable salad, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a croissant with a rich buttery aroma. The coffee, which has been made using the flannel drip method since the company's founding, is served in Inoda Coffee's own unique style, with fresh milk and sugar added beforehand.

The best thing to enjoy with coffee is the "French toast," which has been served for 50 years. The eggs are carefully mixed and cooked to a crispy outside and fluffy inside. The homemade syrup has a nice sweetness that does not interfere with the taste of the coffee, and should be poured generously over the toast.

Retro cafe by Imai Brewery, which continues to produce unheated, naturally brewed miso in Aichi Prefecture. The company's representative, Daisuke Imai, started the café business in his hometown in Aichi Prefecture in 2015 with the hope of doing something about the "young people's shift away from miso". As a further development, he opened "Cafe Zou" in Imadegawa, Kyoto in April 2019.
In this retro space utilizing the interior of a former long-established coffee shop, you can enjoy a traditional coffee shop menu and miso-based dishes. The "Misoya no Tamago Sandwich" is one of the most popular items on the menu, accented with three kinds of homemade miso. The fluffy, thickly baked egg is sandwiched between red miso paste, grated ginger, meat miso, and spicy mayonnaise, giving it a sweet and spicy rich flavor.
