This post from @beecurious surfaced one of my fondest memories of a kissaten I went to in Kyoto about 13 years ago. And I’m heartbroken that I can’t find it on Google Maps.

And no photo I'm assuming? Usually kissaten's design is very showa era, very grandma's style but I love it too. Did they have some famous curry dish or floats or puddings? I was checking online and many articles feature some cool places, might have some luck in checking by this : https://kinarino.jp/cat8/3316

I don’t. I remember it being cozy and a bit dark with candles and carpeting and lots of dark wood everywhere. The cups and saucers were all porcelain. It felt like a grandmother’s living room.

Thank you so much for reading my newsletter ❤️  and I would like to help you to find the kissaten in Kyoto. Do you remember the area where you visited it? We can do some google search for that.
