Ogawa Coffee, Kyoto Sanjo, Fuji Superia X-tra 400

We liked this little coffee shop – for its location on the corner of Kiya-machi Dori and Sanjo Dori and the relaxed unpretentious atmosphere.
Despite being a big chain with numerous branches dotted around the country (with a higher concentration in the Kansai region) Ogawa Coffee retains a certain charm. Staff were friendly and professional.
We opted for one of the desert sets and a latte. The coffee was ok but unremarkable as was the desert but there was nothing to complain about.
A perfect spot for some people watching or catching up with fiends, or, as in our case, ducking out of the rain for half an hour.
Some gherls wearing kimonos on a dull but happy day in Kyoto.

Three pitchas I took on the day we went to Yanesen (Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi). The first was taken from the bridge overlooking the train tracks at Nippori Station and the other 2 are of nowhere of any special interest but it was a quiet neighbourhood where we spotted some handicrafts being sold from peoples homes – that sort of thing. It was nice.
