About

SHUKA builds on a Kyoto family amanatto-making tradition dating to 1926, turning beans, nuts and seeds into candied sweets and plant-based gelato. The compact, earth-toned shop has indoor seating, and guests describe pairing flavors such as cacao, black soybean and pistachio with Japanese teas; ask about seasonal chestnut flavors and paired tastings.
