Kyoto! Gion Tokuya's Bancha Shaved Ice (980 yen) is made with bancha tea, but it's sweet and refreshing with lemon. It's delicious.

This is a famous cafe in Gion, Kyoto. Gion Tokuya has shaved ice that is only available in the summer. The bancha shaved ice is 980 yen. The syrup, made only from Kyobancha tea and rock sugar, is sweet despite being made from tea, and is a perfect match for cold shaved ice. There is a line, but this is a recommended shaved ice.
