green tea parfait in Giontsujiri (茶寮都路里) Kyoto

A trip to Kyoto cannot leave without trying the green tea. In Japan, green tea production mainly comes from Kyoto and Shizuoka prefectures. After a walk to Yasaka Shrine, we stopped by Giontsujiri located in Gion area. My cousin highly recommended this place. It is always busy here. When my aunt came to Japan to visit, they also came here. Unfortunately, that day they waited almost an hour.


Lucky for us, we didn't even wait for a minute. We thought it all contribute to the weather or not. Outside was pouring. Few minutes after we sat down, the crowd started to line up.

Both of them are green tea parfait. The roasting tea method is different and made the tea color different. The green tea shaved ice looked so good from the pictures, but it only offers in summer starting from mid-April.
