SOT Coffee Roaster Kyoto Ginkakuji

The Ginkakuji branch of the Hyogo-based SOT Coffee brand occupies a converted Kyomachiya near the Silver Pavilion, serving the same well-regarded single-origin espresso and filter programme that earned the Shichijo location strong notices. Located on the Philosopher's Path corridor, it is positioned perfectly for travellers beginning or ending the famous canal walk. The warm machiya interior with traditional wooden framework contrasts agreeably with the precision modern brewing equipment.
