    店頭には8名程並んでいましたが、10分程で順番が来ました。スッキリ爽やかな「すだちそうめん」と「しそご飯」が、まだ暑い9月にはピッタリです。同じく9月限定の「いちじく氷」は少し小振りのサイズです。白玉団子をトッピングしました。 8月に楽しめる「くず桜」は京都高島屋で買いました。冷やして食べるとより美味しいです。 今回は、桂離宮見学後の週末昼頃に訪れました。宮内庁の桂離宮までの交通アクセス図では...

Located inside a sukiya-style house, it offers Kyo-kaiseki, tofu cuisine, and bamboo-shoot dishes. Their popular Shirako Takenoko Kaiseki menu is available only from late March through early May. It's a full meal of tender spring bamboo shoots: tempura, sashimi, grilled, and steak style. They also offer smooth, fluffy Sesame Tofu, which is popular with visitors sightseeing in Kyoto's Nishiyama Sanzan mountains.

    この施設の住所が違っている。正しくは長岡京市粟生川久保3番地ですよ。同字・同音の食堂は全国区であちこちにある、経営は別だと思うのだが・・・。ここへは最初じゃなくて何度か昼食に訪れている。何れも、セット旅行の昼食として。たしか、年とった仲居の対応が酷くて苦情云ったことが一度あったと記憶している。今回は対応は問題なかった、但し、食事も何の誉め言葉も浮かばない程度の内容、セット旅行であり、価格詳細は不詳...

    京おはぎと奥嵯峨がが有名なお店です。この日はお正月だったので花びら餅と、奥嵯峨を購入しました。クレジットカードも電子マネーも使えませんでした。元旦から空いているので松尾大社の帰りに訪問することをお勧めします。花びら餅は380円と花びら餅にしてはリーズナブルでした。

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Nishikyou-ku Matsuomangokuchou (Mossa side)
    A tea house located close to the Kegonji temple, known as the “Bell Cricket Temple,” and the Saiho-ji Temple, known as the “Moss Temple.” The self-styled progenitor of Moss Temple grated yam soba noodles, the restaurant’s signature dish is, of course, its tororo soba grated yam soba noodles. Diners can enjoy soba noodles in dashi redolent of the fragrance of yuzu citrus covered with Tanba grated yam, egg yolk, and nori. When the shop was founded, the 13th head of the Kinkaku-ji Temple, Murakami Jikai, likened the soba to the moon floating in the pond of the Moss Temple, dubbing it “Koke no Tsuki” (“Moss Moon”).

    苔寺の参道にある茶屋です。お抹茶・わらび餅や冷しあめなど和の甘味が揃っています。アイスクリームや甘酒、そしてビールもありました。苔寺で歩き疲れた時には最適な休憩茶屋です。

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Nishikyou-ku Katsurainuichou 13-4
    This yakiniku Japanese barbecue restaurant is in Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City. Working with the concept of eating out when the weather's good, guests dine on traditional yakiniku and Korean barbecue. They only serve large, thin cuts of sirloin and rib loin and their signature secret recipe dipping sauce has remained unchanged since their founding. They offer a lunchtime yakiniku menu as well.

    国道9号線の千代原口トンネル工事に伴って一旦休業していましたが、建て替え後はすっかり高級店の装いに。実際にはそれほど高額というわけではないですが、手頃な価格帯ではありません。「◯◯牛」と敢えて謳わず、店名を冠して勝負している「天壇ロース」がとてもおいしいです。ダシ風の透き通ったタレはこちらの看板です。

    いつもは他店を利用していますが今回はこちらにテイクアウトで行きました。 バーガーのチーズ別添えを希望したのですができませんと言われました。その時の態度があしらうような感じでとても不愉快でした。 テイクアウトの用意ができた時に番号を呼ばれましたがその時もとても頭に響く大声というか甲高いというか、そんな声でした。 さらに家に帰ると注文したメニューも間違えており、最初から最後まで雑な接客でした。

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
