Rokujoan

A nice quiet place to relax and enjoy some soba. The service was quick and they had self service water and tea: perfect for a hot day! The matcha soba did not have a very strong matcha taste, but the broth was delicious and very flavorful!

Strongest matcha flavored ice cream in the area and I loved it! For some reason the ice cream tilted immediately after I got it.

Our favorite matcha ice cream in Uji, hands down. We’ve tried matcha ice cream from at least four other places in Uji, and Rokujoan still comes out on top. Their matcha ice cream is the stickiest and most flavorful, with a rich depth you don’t always find elsewhere. We also really love their crepe. It’s soft, lightly crispy on the edges, and pairs so well with the matcha. The shop itself is a small, humble stall with cozy outdoor seating. It’s open-air and feels really relaxed, which makes the experience even better. There’s something about the quiet charm here that keeps pulling us back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Uji and want a matcha dessert that’s simple but exceptional.

Grabbed a fast soba before visit Byōdō-in. I went to the 2/F cafe part and had a bar seating. It was tea time so they only served the light meal and desserts. The cold green tea soba with Anchovies were a fresh combination that I have never imagined. The noodles were nicely cooked. If I have time I would definitely order one more soba.

I had the matcha noodles upstairs and then bought the matcha ice cream downstairs. The noodles were a cold soba and very refreshing on the hot afternoon, and the matcha of the ice cream was at the perfect strong but not overly bitter level for a dessert.

The staff was very patient and polite, definitely recommend this place since it is tourist friendly! The food was really delicious and I would recommend the fried chicken with soba set, the chicken was really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Soba was soaked in cold and savoury base which is a perfect pair with the complimentary tea. The atmosphere was calming and even had a zen like garden outside. I would definitely come here again with my family!

I choose an ice cream with a high percentage of matcha.The color looks more green and really sticky which my spoon hard to dig. Not too sweet,a little bitter.The most important thing is their large front yard ,you can sit outside and taste matcha slowly.Enjoy the street’s view

This place hosts dessert and snacks shop on a ground level as well as restaurant on a second floor. We tried both. Firstly, went to their soba noodle set, flavored with local tea. It was just so so, not much nutrition in it and almost no proteins in it, only very small piece of fish, rest was carbs. I would normally give such place 3 stars maximum. Snack shop was good though, so overall 4 stars. Ice cream and custard bun were very good indeed. There are few seats available in front to seat down and eat in peace.
