You have to try the eel rice here! The old Kyoto-style wooden building has such a classic vibe—it's two stories and really represents the local food scene.

Umezono Kiyomizu Branch
Founded in 1927, Umezono is a long-established Kyoto sweets shop with six locations across the city. Known as a beloved amatō chaya (traditional dessert café), it is popular with both locals and visitors, and its signature mitarashi dango is also a favorite Kyoto souvenir. The Kiyomizu Branch is located along Sannenzaka, just a short walk from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it an easy stop while exploring the Kiyomizu and Kodaiji areas.
The grilled dango here is definitely their signature! On a hot summer day, having some Japanese shaved ice to cool off is also a great idea. 👍
