(Translated by Google) I visited for the shaved ice. 🍧
This is apparently the third branch of Tasuki Honten in Gion. The menu is the same as the original, but the shavings felt different. 💦 It's not that the food isn't delicious, but it definitely feels like the original.
One thing that bothered me was that the counter was open, so I could clearly hear the two female staff members talking. It almost made me want to ask, "Are they college girls?" I've been there twice, and my experience has been the same both times, so it's a shame. They don't seem to feel like they're carrying the Tasuki name, and it ruins the solemn atmosphere of the display of Living National Treasure mementos. 💦 They're working anyway, aren't they? 😅 I generally don't return unless they offer something I really like.
~Revisit~
I was curious about the limited-time menu, but I reluctantly visited. I spotted a man who looked like he was a staff member from the original branch. I hoped they were trying to rebuild.
When I ordered the limited-time menu item, it was out of stock. They said they could prepare it in 20 minutes, so I agreed. It was served 20 minutes later, but...it was so bad I wondered if it was a flop. When I said it was so different from when I had it before, they said, "There are differences between the main store, ShinPuhkan, and ours," but when I showed them a previous photo and said, "I've eaten it at all the stores, but this is the first time I've seen it like this," they agreed to make it again.
I waited another 20 minutes, and they came back to show me the progress, but it still looked like a flop. I compromised and said, "That's fine," and told them to keep making the shaved ice, but no matter how many 20 minutes I waited, it still didn't come out. After 40 minutes, I finally called out to the staff, who said, "They've run out of ingredients, so they're out to buy more," and "They'll come back and prepare it, so it will take another 20 minutes."
I was so shocked I decided to go home.
By the way, because I had come by car, the parking fee ended up being more than the cost of the shaved ice.
This is such a terrible place that I don't even want to give it a star.

かき氷目当てで訪問しました🍧
祇園のたすき本店さんの3号店とのこと。メニューは本店で出していたメニューを継承しているのですが…削りが違う感じがしました💦美味しくないことはないのですがやっぱり本店かな…という印象。
気になったのはオープンカウンターなのでスタッフの女性2人の私語が丸聞こえのところ。女子大生か!って突っ込みたくなるような内容でした。2度訪問して2度とも印象が同じなのでとても残念。たすきの看板を背負っている自覚もないし、人間国宝の記念品を展示している厳かな雰囲気も台無し💦そもそも仕事中ですよね😅よほど好きなメニューが提供されない限りは基本的には再訪はしないです。
〜再訪〜
限定メニューが気になりがしぶしぶ訪問。1号店のスタッフらしき男性を発見。これは立て直しにきたのかと期待。
限定メニューを注文すると品切れ。20分待てば仕込める、とのことで了承。20分後に提供されるも…失敗作とか疑う出来。以前食べたときと状態が違い過ぎると言うと「本店と新風館とうちでそれぞれ違いはある」と言われたが「全店舗で食べた事あるがこんな状態は初めて」と過去の写真を見せると作り直してもらえることに。
更に20分待ち、途中経過を見せに来てくれたが、それも失敗作にしか見えない。が、妥協して「それで構いません」とかき氷を作るように伝えるも20分待てど30分待てど出てこない。40分経ち流石に定員に声をかけると「材料が切れたので買いに行っている」「戻ってきて仕込むので後20分ほどかかる」という。
呆れて帰ることにした。
ちなみに車で行っていたため駐車料金がかき氷代より高くなっていた。
本当は★も0にしたいくらいの最悪の店。
