■Established about 90 years ago, a café loved by a wide range of generations, started by geisha in Pontocho. In recent years, it seems that the fruit sandwiches have become popular on social media and sometimes sell out. I went to try it out! The seats that resemble train seats are cozy with fluffy sofas and a retro interior. ■Order (tax included) - Fruit Sandwich 730 yen The slightly yellowish sweet bread is a feature. The juicy fruits offer different textures for each type, and the whipped cream is delicious with a subtle sweetness. - Black Tea (with lemon) 420 yen It feels a bit strange to have black tea served in a jar at a café. The portion is generous, and you can taste a hint of lemon acidity, which is refreshing. ■Store Information - Access: About a 3-minute walk from Kyoto City Bus "Senbon Imadegawa" bus stop - Business Hours: 10:00-16:00 - Regular Holiday: Wednesday - Seating: Table seats, counter seats - Parking: None (Coin parking available nearby) - Wi-Fi: ❌ - Outlets: ❌ - Cashless Payment: ✔

I wanted to visit a café, but next to it there was also a chicken shop with the same name. The café had a nice retro atmosphere, serving morning sets from 10 to 11, which was perfect for me as I like to sleep in. I ordered a fruit sandwich, rolled omelette, hotcakes with American coffee, and iced tea. The coffee was carefully brewed using a siphon, which I personally enjoy watching. The flavor was just right, not too strong. The hotcakes and fruit sandwich were average, but the rolled omelette sandwich was exceptionally delicious. I bet their pasta and curry dishes are also amazing. I'll have to come back for lunch next time.

Around 11 o'clock, my girlfriend and I visited this retro-style restaurant. We ordered hotcakes and a fruit sandwich. Based on the reviews on Tabelog, it seemed like hotcakes were the popular choice, but personally, I really enjoyed the fruit sandwich in terms of portion size and taste.

This is a café on the street. The calm interior is comfortable to spend time in. The specialty here is the fruit sandwich. Unfortunately, I had the omurice, so I exceeded my calorie intake. The omurice was also in a big size. The menu is extensive with options like Neapolitan pasta, pork cutlet curry, mixed sandwich, hotcakes, and double egg sandwich.

I visited a shop I had been to before. This time, I visited during the morning hours. - Shop atmosphere: I arrived in front of the shop at 10:15 am on Saturday. Despite just opening, the shop was almost full. The customers were mostly older locals, and it seemed to be a popular spot with a constant stream of visitors. - Menu: In addition to drinks like coffee and tea, they also offer food items like rolled omelettes and curry cutlets. You can only order food along with drinks. They have a morning menu available from 10:00 to 11:30, where you can order hot sandwiches or hotcakes along with drinks. - Fruit Sandwich Set (1100 yen): The fruit sandwich set comes with 4 pieces of sandwich. Between triangular slices of bread, there are various fruits and cream fillings such as strawberries, bananas, mandarins, grapes, apples, kiwis, and pineapples. There are two types of cream, one is whipped cream and the other is strawberry cream, which is a unique combination. The bread itself is quite sweet. It is a delightful treat where you can savor the fluffy sweet cream and the sweet and sour fruits. - Blend Coffee (Hot): The coffee is dark in color with a strong bitterness, which might be due to a deep roast. It has a light mouthfeel and is relatively easy to drink. I enjoyed the unique fruit sandwich that can only be tasted here. I would like to invite someone to visit this place again if I have the chance.

I felt a little hungry, so I casually entered a cafe. Inside, I was surprised to find a retro atmosphere that felt like a beloved local cafe. When it comes to classic retro cafes, Napoli-tan and egg sandwiches are a must. I ordered the egg sandwich and was impressed by the generous portion and delicious taste. It was so good! The Napoli-tan had a nostalgic flavor as well. After paying the bill and stepping outside, I noticed a sign advertising their specialty fruit sandwich. I wonder if it's even better than the egg sandwich? I'll have to try the fruit sandwich next time. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a long-established retro cafe that has become popular recently. I ordered a fruit sandwich set during their morning time. The fruit sandwich was delicious, with sweet bread and plenty of fresh fruits like oranges. The sandwich was quite filling and satisfying. However, the downside was that there was a strong smell of grilled mackerel in the cafe while I was eating, which was the daily lunch special that day. It was a bit off-putting.

The location is a bit hard to get to, but this retro-style café was bustling with locals. I love cafés like this. The fruit sandwich was only 730 yen back then. Such a great value for the portion and taste. The Danish bread was sweet, with plenty of fruit. The pink whipped cream was cute too.

■Visit Date: February 5, 2022 ■Items Received: Fruit Sandwich, Coffee ■MEMO I visited on February 5, 2022, after enjoying delicious Awamochi at Sawaya. It is a retro café located on the south side of Senbon Imadegawa heading west. Established in 1937, it exudes a sense of history. Today, both of us tried the famous fruit sandwich and coffee for breakfast. As you can see in the photo, it was a generous portion. The sandwich is filled with fresh fruits, complemented perfectly by Danish bread and whipped cream. My wife initially thought it might be too much, but she ended up finishing it all in one go. The whipped cream was lighter than expected, creating a perfect balance. It was a delightful moment reading a book while enjoying the sandwich and coffee. ■Blog https://ay-style.net/

A vintage coffee shop located southwest of the intersection of Senbon Imadegawa in Kyoto. It has been featured in Kyoto guidebooks numerous times and even graced the cover. I've lost count of how many times I've visited. I must have been coming here since my youth. The original owner, an elderly woman, has since passed the torch. With the change in ownership, the menu and prices have shifted slightly. However, the charm of the shop remains unchanged. Its old-fashioned vibe is what makes it special. This time, I ordered a milk coffee. It used to be more like a café au lait, but now it comes with foamed milk on top. When did that change happen? Nevertheless, it's delicious. Things evolve, after all. Next time, I think I'll treat myself to some hotcakes after a long time.

Fifteen years ago, when I visited, the café was run by an elderly woman, but now it's being managed by her grandson. The retro and nostalgic atmosphere inside the café hasn't changed, and it's very calming. The cocoa they serve doesn't have sugar in it, and the whipped cream on top makes it just right and delicious. Check out more details about Kyoto's Café Shizuka, a nostalgic and relaxing place!

After taking a walk from the flower tree, I walked about 3 kilometers. It's unrelated, but I often go to Kyoto for work by car. Why are Kyoto addresses so long? Like here, "Ukyo-ku, Imadegawa-dori, Senbon-nishi-iru, Minami-kamizenzai-cho" haha. The entrance of the shop has been renovated. The retro feel from before was also lovely. The shop's interior is cute with a Kyoto-like classical retro style. The fruit sandwich with white and pink cream sandwiched between fruits is stylish! As for the coffee... Hmm, I forgot the taste... haha. This set was under 1000 yen, very reasonable. The cafes "Hanano-ki" and "Shizuka" that I visited that day were quite contrasting. The weather was good, making it a pleasant day. Of course, I took the bus back, as there is a bus stop nearby. Heading east, it was straight to Demachiyanagi Station.

A cafe near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. Took a break after walking and had a fruit sandwich with coffee. The fruit sandwich looked beautiful and the bread was firm with a simple taste. Personally, I like this type, but compared to the trendy fruit sandwiches nowadays, it may lack impact. The current ones have a lot of cream, which is sweet, large pieces of fruit, and soft bread. The retro fruit sandwich and coffee with a Showa-era atmosphere. Pure bliss. Thank you for the meal!

My friend who lives in Kyoto guided me to a charming retro-style restaurant with a wooden curved entrance. Inside the restaurant, there was even a Shonben Kozo (a character from Japanese folklore). During lunchtime, you are required to order a drink along with your food. If you order both food and a drink, you get a 150 yen discount on the drink. I couldn't decide between a fruit sandwich or a meat dish, but in the end, I ordered a hamburger sandwich for 760 yen and an iced coffee for 420 yen. With the discount, the total came to 1030 yen. The hamburger was soft, moist, and thick, with a sweet teriyaki sauce drizzled on top, and a hint of mustard adding a nice accent. It was quite filling, and I left the restaurant satisfied.

Located west of the intersection of Senbon Imadegawa in Kyoto, this cafe is a very old establishment. I was surprised when I passed by this time and saw that the entrance had been beautifully renovated. I quickly parked my car in the parking lot and hurried inside to check it out. When I used to pass by here, it was a place that was so retro that it was almost too retro. This place was not a famous retro cafe, just an old cafe. It was empty back then, and I wondered if it was really okay. I remember always carrying the matches from here. This was about 20 years ago. At that time, Tokiko Tokiwa often wrote about this cafe on the internet. I remember finding it a few times and quietly smiling to myself. It's a very nostalgic story. So, here is the newly renovated Shizuka with a clean entrance. It's surprising. And the sandwiches somehow look much cleaner. Inside the cafe, those sandwiches are featured in various magazines. It seems to have become quite a famous place. But sitting inside, I feel that familiar sense of comfort and reassurance. I order an iced coffee and decide to try the fruit sandwich as well. The beautiful cross-section is wonderful, but it fills me up quickly. The old, worn-down interior of the cafe comes back to life. I simply immerse myself in nostalgia. Going to the restroom, memories become even more vivid. I've always liked the restroom here. It's a nice space. Shizuka has passed through time gracefully. It feels good. I hope it doesn't disappear. It's a place like that for me.

Founded 80 years ago!! A coffee shop that has been loved by locals for a long time. The Kitano Shirakawa area is home to many stylish cafes. One such establishment is "Shizuka," which has been in business since 1937. Despite surpassing 80 years in operation, it continues to be loved by local residents and has become a popular coffee shop, even sparking interest on social media. The shop is located over 1000m away from Kitano Shirakawa Station, so it is recommended to visit by Kyoto City Bus, bicycle, or car. I wanted to explore the food in this area, so I went by bicycle. If taking the bus, the nearest bus stop is "Senbon Imadegawa," and the shop is located right there. The exterior exudes a sense of tradition. The sign also has an old-fashioned feel, evoking a sense of history. The interior is retro as well! The fluffy sofa chairs and vintage decorations give off a nostalgic vibe. Faded in some places, but it adds to the cozy atmosphere. Cute illustrations of girls are found on the seats, perhaps the inspiration behind the shop's name, "Shizuka." The bobbed hair gives an innocent feel to it. This time, I visited for breakfast and ordered a toast egg sandwich. The breakfast was huge! Toast, drink, and salad are included in the set. The egg sandwich was delicious! A soy sauce-based flavor, sweet and savory, just the way I like it. But that's not all! The menu that became popular on social media is the "fruit sandwich"! With its Instagrammable appeal, various fruit sandwiches from different shops are constantly popping up on the timeline. This shop, which has been offering fruit sandwiches for a long time, is no exception. In addition to the locals, young and stylish women are flocking to the shop. Here is the popular fruit sandwich: a colorful mix of seasonal fruits. The cross-section is so beautifully cut that you could stare at it forever! The combination of the lightly sweetened whipped cream and fluffy bread is excellent! Add the juiciness of the fruits, and you are guaranteed to feel happy. The "fruit sandwich" is not only popular for its appearance and taste but also for its nostalgic atmosphere. I realized that this is the reason for its popularity. If this shop were near my home, I would definitely visit often. Although I may not have the opportunity to go often, it is a favorite spot that I definitely want to visit again!
