Nakamura Tokichi Kyoto Station 中村藤吉 京都駅店
Uji's famous matcha cafe without the trip to Uji: parfaits and tea sets on the 3rd floor of JR Kyoto Isetan, plus a soft-serve stand (NEXT) at the station.
About
Nakamura Tokichi's Kyoto Station cafe brings the Uji teahouse's best-known sweets to the main station: matcha parfaits stacked with cream, mochi, jelly and ice cream, warabi-mochi, matcha lattes and seasonal limited parfaits. The cafe sits on the third floor of JR Kyoto Isetan, while a small 'NEXT' takeaway counter by the West Exit area sells soft-serve and drinks for people in a rush. It is the easiest place to tick off the matcha parfait if Uji is not on your itinerary.
Highlights
- Uji-style matcha parfaits at the station
- Seasonal limited menus such as gyokuro parfaits
- Takeaway soft-serve at the NEXT counter
- Inside JR Kyoto Isetan, 3F

Tips
- Put your name down then shop in Isetan while you wait
- Weekday evenings are quietest
- Leave 30-60 minutes before a train at weekends
- The NEXT counter is best if you only want soft-serve
