Best dango I've eaten so far

The dango are really soft and squishy. The toppings are very tasty and creative and very natural tasting (not too sweet).
They are probably the best dango I have eaten until now.

The warabi are nice aswell.

It is a very good Café to stop by when visiting the shrine.
The set lets you try a variety of flavors.

Pros: Very delicious , Presentation , Friendly staff

Good food

I enjoyed my lunch here. I ordered the vegan lunch set for 2100 yen. It's a great choice in the area, cause the other ones that I found were pricier. The only downside for me is that you can't pay by card.

Very old Japanese temple & vegan!

Their lunch (till 4:00ish open ) consists of ¥2100, ¥3000, ¥ 4000 sets are all Japanese-style Shojin VEGAN if you want a lunch set of more than ¥3000 one, please call ahead (in Japanese only, please) Their ¥1000 meal uses some fish so avoid if you are a vegan. I loved the atmosphere and the food was really good! It’s in the famous old Kyoto Koudaiji, Yasaka 5-stories-Pagoda and Koudaiji temple. Please show this phrase to local Japanese, they will indicate where ↓
高台寺南門の横の一休庵と言う精進料理のお店です。八坂の塔や、三年坂、ねねの道が近くにあります。行き方を教えて下さい。ありがとうございます。
