Introducing a parfait that is more popular than the popular “eX cafe”, which has 3 stores in Kyoto city. We hope that you will enjoy a relaxing time with different atmospheres and landscapes.
The most popular Japanese parfait with the image of a mountain from Tenryu-ji Temple, a World Heritage Site, where you can see autumn leaves and beautiful deep greenery in summer.
Uji’s organically grown matcha tea and roasted green tea, which represent Japan’s representative tea culture from ancient times, are served with ice cream, and the sweetness is modest in consideration of the atmosphere of an adult.
You can enjoy Shiratama, Warabimochi, seasonal sweetness, Yatsuhashi, and Kyoto-ness in one plate. It goes well with warm matcha.
It features a color reminiscent of the faint love of the Heian period represented by the Genji story.
This parfait is also accented with an umbrella, topped with Uji matcha ice cream, which is made with purple and the season is coming soon. This sweet is recommended for those who want to experience an elegant atmosphere.
A parfait in a glass with the image of the Katsura River flowing under the Togetsu Bridge, which is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Kyoto, Arashiyama. It is a dish that you can feel the wabi-sabi that is a habit of fusing black honey kinako ice cream & purple sweet potato ice cream with kinako warabi mochi and shiratama.
* Each parfait bowl varies depending on the store.
When you go sightseeing in Kyoto, you will often see the buildings that are unique to Kyoto, which has a long history as a capital. On the other hand, Kyoto is a place where many attractions are packed, not just buildings. The three types of Japanese parfaits at eXcafe express the charm of Kyoto, and all of them are based on the themes of “buildings,” “story,” and “nature” that represent Kyoto.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
