This viral flower bouquet ice cream shop in Kyoto makes one of the prettiest and photogenic vegan desserts. The flower bouquet is actually made from sweet bean paste, similar to the main ingredient of traditional Japanese sweets - wagashi. They meticulously pipe the colourful bean paste into shapes of flowers and leaves. They’d even call you over before they put on the finishing touches so that you can see the process up close.
The bottom part of the bouquet is where you will find the gelato. All the gelato flavours are plant based and doesn’t contain animal-derived dairy products according to the menu. During my visit, they had interesting flavours like cactus and salted truffle & cacao, alongside some classic flavours like matcha and strawberry.
