Wine and ice cream may not be the most common pairing, but that’s exactly what you’ll find at Kasiki. This sleek and modern, modestly sized café-bar serves up unorthodox ice cream flavours such as rhubarb and Japanese sansho pepper, pineapple jasmine tea and green tea with rosemary. Single scoops are ¥600, with double scoops going for ¥850 and triple for ¥1,000. Along with ice cream, there are also a couple of unique desserts on the menu that change seasonally. Most recently, Kasiki offered a passion fruit crème brûlée served with Taiwanese oolong ice cream.
In addition to natural wine, the shop carries a thoughtful selection of beer, tea and juice, as well as coffee from the esteemed Japanese roaster Coffee County. Wines are available by the glass or bottle, with the curated list handpicked by the owner of Wineshop Ethelvine, a renowned boutique wine shop based in Kyoto.
