Lonely Planet review for Gion Koishi

If it’s a hot summer’s day and you need a cooling break, try this tea shop for some typical Japanese summer treats. The speciality here is uji kintoki (¥700), a mountain of shaved ice flavoured with green tea, sweetened milk and sweet beans (it tastes a lot better than it sounds, trust us). It’s the fifth shop in from the corner, between two souvenir-craft shops.
