Blue Bottle | Drink coffee at an old Japanese house in Kyoto

Because I wanted to eat at Nanzenji Junsho, an authentic yudofu restaurant that is only available in Kyoto, I walked in directly and wrote down my name to wait for a table. Because it was too popular, I was told that I would have to wait for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. So I went to Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto next door and drank coffee ☕️ while waiting for a table ⌛️ 🍽【Food Guide】Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto 📍Detailed address: 64 Kusagawa-cho, Nanzenji, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 🚗Transportation guide: 5 minutes walk from Keage Station on the Tozai Line 🕙Business hours: 9:00-18:00 🍽Recommended coffee: ✅ Christmas limited edition latte: I usually only drink American coffee, but when I saw there was a Christmas limited edition latte, I had to try it. The milk foam is dense and smooth, and the strong coffee aroma is my favorite taste. The Christmas limited edition is sprinkled with mini maple leaf petals on the latte art! There's nothing special else. ✅Matcha latte: It’s similar to what you drink outside, nothing special! 🖼Restaurant environment: The entire building is renovated from an old Japanese-style house. It has two courtyards. The first one sells Blue Bottle peripheral products + a bar-style coffee seat. There is an open courtyard in the middle. The second and first floors are divided into: an ordering counter, log coffee chairs, and a patio divided by green plants. It is connected to the Japanese courtyard landscape through large floor-to-ceiling windows, forming a unique coffee shop. The second floor is the working area. 💰Average consumption: 800+ yen 🍜Total score of the restaurant: Because it is located in the food street of Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto, and it is the maple leaf season, there are a lot of people, and you need to queue up to order and get coffee! Just order in simple English, the waiter is very good! I couldn't find a vacant seat in the entire coffee shop, so I could only get a coffee and stand in the yard. Fortunately, there were red leaves in the yard and the sun was shining brightly. I took some photos of the red leaves, drank some coffee, and basked in the sun. After a while, the waiting time of more than an hour was up 😊
