Togetsu Café

If you’re after a matcha latte, there’s also an iced option. One diner who stopped in after exploring Arashiyama praised its richness, while another found the iced version refreshing. Coffee drinkers have described the coffee as full-bodied without being too bitter; one review also mentions enjoying cold-brew coffee on a hot day. The menu lists espresso, Americano, café latte and café mocha, among other options.

For something sweet alongside your drink, try a Japanese-style dessert such as kuzustarch parfait, warabi mochi with red bean paste, or shiratama zenzai. You can keep it to a quick drink or settle in for a longer break with dessert. Close to Togetsukyo Bridge, Togetsu Café has also drawn comments from diners who enjoyed the view from the window. It’s a place to pause during a walk and take in the scenery over coffee or a matcha latte.
