Big in Japan: Part II
Kyoto, Japan. Sentido was a coffee shop that came highly rated. That being said I don’t remember where I got the name from but we kept it starred in Google maps and when we got to Karasuma Oike Station, dropped by. The place was small, well lit and simple. There were some coffee products for sale as well as some pastries. We did not have any food but they apparently have some sort of set menu. Lots of Japanese reading material around. Its less warm and comfortable than some of the cafes I have been to and would not spend half a day there like I do in some. One thing that was possibly a bit of a negative was our initial ‘interaction’ with the staff - I felt they were a bit rude. But then again it might have just been a cultural thing or misunderstanding. I’ll give them the benefit.
So the most important bit: The coffee. It was great. Well prepared . Both my wife and I had a cappuccino and it more than made up for my initial perception of the place. If you're in the area definitely drop by to get a good cup.
