Kyoto Stroll 002 – Saito Shoten

The shopkeeper, Mrs. Saito, greets her guests with a kind and warm smile, standing in front of the noren curtain.

By chance, we discovered this charming restaurant tucked away in a quiet alley. 🏠☕️

The owner welcomed us with a warm smile and spoke excellent English, introducing us to their unique Italian-inspired dishes and desserts. We chatted casually in a mix of English and Japanese, sharing stories about Italian cuisine and the beauty of its cities. Our desserts were a sandwich and pudding, both with an impressively rich flavor! 🍮

Today's weather suddenly warmed up, and the owner's warm and friendly smile felt just like the spirit of spring. 🌸

🚶‍♀️Close to Sanjo Keihan Station, it's easily accessible via the subway or Keihan Railway. A perfect spot to drop by during a stroll.
