aneessa steilenJuly 6, 2016Fantastic ice cream! Not too heavy, perfect incorporation of flavor. Black sesame is a must.

Kati KrauseApril 26, 2014Among the best ice cream I've eaten in my life. Order the "dekitate" (fresh) ice cream in whatever flavour they're making it that day.Upvote2Downvote
Memey MendozaJune 2, 2016Best to order dekitate ice cream which is freshly made. Green tea parfait is an acquired taste. Prefer the trio of ice cream flavors- brown sugar black sesame and a berry mix.UpvoteDownvote
Obaid Al NuaimiJuly 3, 2017Healthy yet tasty. I tried the Tiramisu ice-cream and it was amazing.

Lydia TOctober 5, 2015Apparently world famous! Anyway ice cream was really nice and fresh but I only thought the parfait was average, overall, nice experience though!!
Upvote1Downvote- Jen HuangOctober 4, 2013Get the autumn parfait! They only make 20 a day! Also get the dekitate (sp?) ice cream.... Manages to taste both rich and refreshing at the same time!

Patrik SjölinJune 13, 2016We tried the Dekitate and it had a lovley taste of sesame. We will come visit more before leaving Kyoto.UpvoteDownvote
Joshua HaftelMarch 11, 2017Super grainy ice cream--they let too many ice crystals form when they make it, the obvious sign of amateur ice cream.UpvoteDownvote- Jonathan MSeptember 25, 2017You can grab the dekitate ice cream at the counter for 360 Yen for 2 scoops. No take out allowed.UpvoteDownvote
Joshua WohleMarch 29, 2018soybean ice cream is amazing. definitely worth a visit (or really more than one :))UpvoteDownvote- Renata EikoOctober 29, 2015O melhor sorvete de kinako!! Superhealthy soy bean ice cream freshly madeUpvoteDownvote
NoixSeptember 21, 2015白玉やアイス、わらび餅までてんこ盛り！きな粉のアイスなど、京都らしい和のテイスト盛りだくさんのパフェが売りのお店。店外(道)に並ぶことはできないそうで、店内で列を作って並ぶので店内はぎゅうぎゅう(笑)。自転車も店先には置けないため、駐輪場にとめてからお越しください。

Casey RybackMay 6, 2014きななのパフェは京都一うまいと聞いて来店。結論から言うと、本当に美味い。京都に来たら是非寄ってほしい。後悔はしないはずです。私は正直、パフェを甘くみていました。パフェだけに（＾_＾）？

Cheung Ka WaiMarch 15, 20143月中旬のお昼時間に行列ない。まあ冬だから。 店外の行列禁止。No need to queue during lunch time in mid-march. It's winter anyway so no one wants to have ice cream? Also no queuing outside allowed.

Liat GilboaAugust 3, 2016אחד המקומות השווים ביותר! מבחוץ נראה כמו בית מגורים, אבל בפנים יש גלידה בעבודת יד בטעמים כמו סויה, שומשום שחור וסוכר חום שמוגשת עם ערמונים ופטל לצד תה ירוק
