Russian tea in Kyoto

Do you know what the Russian tea is? Japanese people think that Russian tea is a straight black tea, served with jam, lemon and cognac. Well, it's almost true. Different kinds of baked goods (including bread to eat with jam) are an essential part of traditional Russian "tea ceremony". But in Japan bread is not a staple food. Therefore, Bon Bon and I are very slim ^_^

At "Bon Bon friendly" Italian cafe in Kyoto.



 


Welcome, Bon Bon. But please stay on the terrace... Just in case.
