IYEMON is a tea brand established in Kyoto. They opened the first tea salon last year here.
It is still new, so the cafe is very clean and beautiful. There is a garden beyond the cafe seen from every seat. I sat beside the window, so I could see the garden and it was bright.
I went there at luch time. There are several choices for lunch and they serve free green tea instead of water. Actually they serve different tea every day. I find it is great, isn't it?

At dinner time, the cafe changes like a bar or restaurant.
Why don't you go there if you stay at Kyoto?
