[2025 Kyoto Restaurant] Travel Guide for Gion Komori (Updated Jun)

#getgoing2025 I recently visited Gion Komori in Kyoto’s Gion district with a friend on the weekend, and it was a delightful experience! This traditional sweet shop is famous for its warabi mochi, and after hearing so much about it, we had to try both the kinako (roasted soybean flour) and matcha versions. Both were absolutely amazing—soft, chewy, and coated with just the right amount of powder. The matcha flavor was rich and smooth, while the kinako version had a perfect, earthy sweetness. The shop itself has a cozy, traditional feel, making it the perfect spot to enjoy these delicious treats in the heart of Gion. If you love Japanese sweets, this place is a must-visit! Why I recommend Gion Komori: The warabi mochi is unlike anything else—chewy, flavorful, and a true taste of Kyoto. The cozy, traditional setting makes it a perfect stop for a relaxing treat in Gion. 📍Address: 570-5 Gionmachi Minamigawa, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, Japan ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #Gion #Kyoto #GionKomori

There are many traditional tea houses in Gion, Kyoto and we picked this place- Gion Komori. I did abit of research before picking this place, good reviews on warabimochi and some says it’s the best? Of course need to try it out myself :) The place is very nice and spacious, there are many different rooms upstairs, however the waiting time was abit long even on a non busy day. The selection here are good with English menu. I ordered a warabimochi set which came with a hot green tea, the warabimochi was good! Tasted very authentic and best paired with hot matcha. The matcha shaved ice was abit disappointing, it’s just too sweet for me, but maybe some people will like it? But it was still good overall especially on a hot day. Overall it was a nice experience, can come here if the queue is not too long :)
