While Japan’s savoury delights have conquered world cuisine, its sweet treats remain relatively under the radar. Gion Tokuya may be about to change all that. The original branch opened in Kyoto, reviving the city with wagashi – dainty, traditional Japanese sweets made to accompany tea – and kakigori, mountains of shaved ice with toppings such as tea or azuki beans.
