Inari Saryo

We ordered their Uji Matcha and Japanese sweets set and Uji Matcha soft serve ice cream. The matcha is so smooth and the Japanese sweets (I forgot what it is specifically called but contains what appears to be red bean filling) goes well with the matcha. The matcha soft shave in a cone is served with some rice cookies (designed with foxes). The soft shave is refreshing and not too sweet! There is an option to dine in al fresco and one can stay there for 45 mins max. Free hot rice tea is available. Service is good and guides foreign customers. After a tiring walk along Fushimi Inari, Inari Saryo offers a good respite where one can savor matcha while admiring the wonders around.

Best and most beautiful parfait I’ve had in Japan! I love that it comes with a little guide explaining all the different components of the parfait; it has lots of rice elements (eg puffed rice) to honour Inari, the Shinto god of rice, who the shrine is of course named for. The quality of the matcha in both the parfait and the ice cream is also top. If you love matcha, this is for you. They also have a really efficient queue system where you register at a machine, choosing balcony or inside seat, and then get to chill in a nice covered seating area with a view of the gardens while you wait.

The parfait was not only visually stunning but also tasted delicious. There were many elements layered within that gave different texture which is really enjoyable. We also ordered the cold matcha soba and a matcha dessert with red bean. The soba was refreshing and enjoyable, though the portion was a little small. The red bean was slightly too sweet for my liking. We took a number and waited for about five minutes on a Sunday around 1.30pm. They also provide a free rest area for everyone, including those who are not dining at the shop. I would be happy to revisit, especially for the photogenic and tasty parfait if I have the chance.

Finally trying the popular parfait from this place ^^ After a long walk inside the shrine, this place offers you a great spot to enjoy the view and resting your wobbly legs, while sipping the tea and taking a big bites for the dessert. I would recommend you to sit outside for a better view.

I tried here green tea, and the Inari Parfait. Also i bought Matcha. The Parfait was more the looks, it tasted ok, but the selling point is the decorations and how gorgeous it looks. Do i regret buying it? No, I don't. But i can tell you the taste is just ok, not a big deal, but what makes this worthwhile is how it's decorated. The place has a nice, beautiful view, unfortunately a lot of people by the time i visited.

Beautiful matcha dessert spot near the shrine! We loved it!

After a long walk, you will meet this cafe. It is a good place to rest while visit the shrine. I ordered Uji Matcha Latte, it tasted good but little bit strong. For matcha enthusiasts should try some of their menu. There is different menu/price for dine in at the cafe or at the rest area (take away packaging but you can’t take to the outside cafe area because of the trash).

It's raining day and we don't have much time so we just sit at Rest area outside. It's different price for in the cafe and outside. Staffs were considering and all clear to the price and what you will get. We had soft serve that serve in a cup. It's nice and tasty.
