On the path to Kiyomizu-Dera, there are a ton of little shops selling trinkets and chotchkes…and plenty of green tea treats {you already know I'm addicted right?}. Said treats include green tea soft serve, green tea soft serve on top of green tea cake, and cream puffs filled with green tea ice cream or green tea custard. Did I try them all? But, of course!

JOY. This is awesome. I’m leaving for Japan on Monday myself. So psyched to follow your lead and try some of this stuff. The soft serve looks ridiculous. Need.
zinzi,
have an amazing trip!!
joy
the green color is so beautiful but ive tried several green tea things and just can’t seem to like it unfortunately!
Wow, that first one looks heavenly.
these are really wonderful pictures….I feel like I could just take a lick!
oh my that green tea softserve looks amazing! ive never seen anything like that. How did it taste? Was it sweet or more refreshing? I want.
Oh my god. That color is gorgeous! I too love green tea ice cream 🙂 …have you ever tried it inside fried tempura? It’s heaven.
wow – that green is the most beautiful color!
OMG, you are killing me. I have a serious green tea ice cream addiction too. We had some in a little cafe in Himeji and it was wonderful.
If you’re ever back in Philadelphia, the Franklin Fountain has an excellent green tea ice cream, although I don’t know if it could ever even compare to what you had. It’s not a bad place for pictures either.
OH YUM!
Oh, my! What a beautiful green this ice cream is. Absolutely lovely.
Those cream puffs are amazing, also had them earlier on this year and they rock.
Your Kyoto adventures are making me want to come back to try all the food I’ve missed there.
Loving your entries on them.
Oh oh oh. Green tea icecream. I remember having some in Kyoto too. Delicious.
First time visiting. Nice blog. Wow!! what a beautiful picture!! oh the green looks scrumptious, i would love to taste a green tea ice cream.
Seems pistacchio!
Have you ever tried the frozen custard at Top Round at Olympic & LaBrea? YUM!
