Argent Introspection

Enjoy sandwiches that make your body happy at Argento Sandwich & Espresso near Ginkakuji Temple.

April 29, 2023 open

Naoko Matsumoto, the owner of Dai's Deli & Sandwiches, became interested in farmers' markets and deli culture after living in the U.S. Upon returning to Japan, she began working at a sandwich store called Dai's Deli & Sandwiches. She was involved in the establishment of the store and has been involved in recipe development for about 15 years.

Argent People

Mr. Matsumoto, who can be considered a sandwich professional, opened his own store in Sakyo-ku, where he was born and raised. His specialty is sandwiches made with homemade focaccia, which he bakes daily in his store. The focaccia is made with whole wheat flour from Italy, which is rich in minerals and flavor, and organic olive oil from Spain, and is baked softly so that it is easy to eat as a sandwich. It is filled with an unbelievable variety of vegetables, mostly seasonal in Kyoto, making it seem as if you are eating a salad.

Argent Menu

Smoked chicken and smoked mackerel focaccia sandwiches, 1,620 yen each. The chef makes an effort to use ingredients such as homemade pickles, marinated red turnips, and Kyoto vegetables such as tomatoes from Kamigamo.

The lunch plate is also full of prepared vegetables, a dish that is gentle on the body and energizing.

Argent Menu

Lunch plate 1650 yen includes a drink. On this day, it includes tandoori chicken, frittata filled with vegetables, marinated root vegetables, and focaccia. A set that includes today's soup is also popular.

Argent Exterior

Prepared foods are also sold individually, and almost all menu items can be taken home. Sweets such as cakes and cookies are also attractive and perfect for everyday use.
