[2025 Kyoto Restaurant] Travel Guide for Sarasa Nishijin (Updated May)

#西阵にしじん The northern part of Kamigyo Ward is famous for its silk and satin weaving. In addition to producing the famous #西阵织, there is also an amazing cafe #さらさ西阵 (Cafe Sarasa) that was converted from a bathhouse. The roof looks like the bathhouse in Hayao Miyazaki's animation #Spirited Away. It is a typical Japanese #Tangpofeng style, with concave eaves on both sides and a semi-arc-shaped mountain face structure in the middle. The high and magnificent coffered ceiling and the entire wall covered with Japanese porcelain tiles, the colorful patterns are like small flowers, extending along the wall and covering the entire coffee shop, it is so beautiful. Sarasa Coffee Shop was converted from a bathhouse, retaining the beam and column structure and layout of the bathhouse. It has wooden and mud walls, combined with beautiful floral tiles, woven like brocade into a very unreal space that is both retro and hip, modern and fashionable, decadent and elegant, and very beautiful. To order, just scan the QR code. In addition to drinks and desserts, there are also light meals such as Turkish rice, Mexican tartare rice, curry rice, etc., which are enough to fill you up, so many boys come to the store to eat. I ordered a drink + cake combo for 1100 yen, and chose Darjeeling black tea and apple cinnamon cake. The black tea was delicious, the cake was large and soft, and it was quite cost-effective. The store roasts its own coffee beans and carrot cake, which I heard are also very good. Although Nishijin is located further north and requires some walking to get there by bus, there are still some great attractions nearby, such as the Daitoku-ji temple complex, which is also worth seeing during the summer when the new green leaves appear. Of course, the Kinkakuji Temple is also indispensable, although I personally don’t recommend it much, haha. #さらさ西阵 #CafeSarasa Opening hours: 1130-2100 Address: 11-1 Murasakino Higashifujinomoricho, Kita Ward, Kyoto, 603-8223 Japan #JapanExploreStore #KyotoFood #Nishijin #BathhouseCoffee

Kyoto, Sarasa Nishijin, visited during my trip to Kyoto! I could say that it was the best in terms of taste and atmosphere among Japanese cafes It was already famous as a filming location for I Meet You Tomorrow, Yesterday 👍🏻 If I have a chance to go to Kyoto again, it is a cafe I want to go to again 🩷 #Hotel Accommodation Voucher Event

#Travelwithme ~Sarasara Nishijin~ A cafe renovated from a public bath in Kyoto. It has a nice feel with many traces of the bathhouse still remaining. The tiles were very cute. I went for lunch so I ordered taco rice. I added iced coffee for an extra 300 yen. The price seems a little on the high side. lol The cakes looked delicious too, so maybe it's a good place to have tea. They also had a kids' plate, so I think it's safe for families with children. If you're in Kyoto, please try it out. ✎＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Sarasa Nishijin 11-1 Higashifujinomoricho, Murasakino, Kita-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 11:30-21:00 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ #KyotoInformation#KyotoGourmet#KyotoTrip#KyotoSightseeing#KyotoCafe
