Kimono Tea Ceremony at Kyoto Maikoya, Karasuma Shijo
4 of these places are in Karasuma and Kawaramachi
Kyoto sits oddly high on Japan's bread map, and its bakeries lean French. Le Petitmec Oike, fiveran and Grandir Boulangerie Patisserie Oike cluster the croissant and viennoiserie scene around Oike in Nakagyo, while Panscape Sanjo works a slower, stone-milled style nearby. For the local idiom there is Shinshindo Kitayama up in Kita-ku and Sizuya Kyoto Station by the station, whose carnet spiral is a city staple.
