| + Sarasa |
| Open since 1984, it has a natural relaxing atmosphere in a simply restored Japanese tea-house. A rotating gallery that changes every two weeks, is popular among young artists for displaying their work. Organic bread and other organic ingredients are in many dishes. Only downside is that although it's such a "natural" place the clientelle esp. in the evening smoke. Lots dishes and drinks to choose from - English and Japanese menu! Nice large sizes!! Friendly staff! |

| + Sarasa Nishijin |
| This one is quite further out and closes sooner than the others, but it is rather interesting! In the 1980's it was a Nishijin bath-house as you can see by the original tiles still on the walls! It has been remodelled into a trendy coffee house. The focus of the light menu is on Asian flavors. Coffee, sake, green tea... all available. Every Friday night is "Acoustic Funk" night. |
