The matcha crepes at this shop have a unique flavor, with moist and soft crepe skin. The rich matcha aroma is slightly bitter, perfectly balanced with sweetness, making it an excellent choice for matcha lovers.
Review from a brace-wearer: No bathroom for takeout.
This place is 京抹茶クレープ ARINCO, located on the streets of Arashiyama, Kyoto, and it specializes in matcha crepes. You can see many people walking around with crepes in hand nearby.
I ordered the Sugar Butter (650 yen). The crepe is a bit thick, with a moist and soft texture, unlike the typical thin and crispy French crepes. The crepe itself is matcha-flavored, with a strong matcha aroma and a slight bitterness from the tea, so it doesn't just taste excessively sweet. However, it was sprinkled with a bit too much sugar, making it somewhat sweeter. If you don't like things too sweet, it might feel a bit heavy. Overall, matcha lovers should enjoy it; the flavor and texture of the crepe are quite good, making it a nice snack while strolling in Arashiyama.
