Kyoto Uji matcha latte and gluten-free hojicha cheesecake at Torotoro, Seongsu

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A cozy red-brick cafe tucked in a Seongsu alley, with a small room upstairs and more seats in the basement. Every dessert is gluten-free, and the signature Kyoto Uji matcha latte is strong and properly bitter.
