Ujien Kissako Hankyu Sanbangai Ten

I was looking for a place to take a little break in Sanbangai and discovered Uji-en, which has a charming riverside vibe. I was tempted by the kakigori (shaved ice) and warabi mochi in the photos, so I decided to go in. Even though it was a weekday evening, there were a few customers around, and all the seating was at tables.

Delicious warm tea was served, and I ordered the warabi mochi while my friend chose the parfait and hojicha parfait. Everything looked so good that it was hard to decide! The wait time was short, and the staff frequently refilled our tea while also giving us space, so the service was excellent.

The restroom is shared with other shops in Sanbangai, so it’s a bit of a walk, but we ended up staying longer than planned. The bill was split individually, which was nice. As for the food, it was a bit pricey at JPY 735, but the tea was really flavorful and delicious! The mochi was wonderfully chewy too. I might want to come back for the parfait! Thank you for the meal!
