I had a "Kyoto bowl eating comparison set" at Arashiyama Itsuki Chaya. The bowl that was renewed to the autumn menu has a shabu-shabu, and an additional menu, the super-luxury "Five Grains Fertility Tamatebako". It is a luxurious dish with crab meat and karasumi hidden under the matsutake mushrooms.

There are fish, vegetables, and meat tempura. The rice can be refilled, so you can sprinkle the soup stock steamed in a clay bottle to make the soup stock chazuke. It's also good for girls and dates.

It's a limited menu for only summer, which looks cool and makes us forget the hot climate of Kyoto. The dashi soup and sudachi (refreshing citrus fruit) has good gentle fragrances, and smooth soba noodle can bring my chopsticks continuously. The soup is really delicious that I want to drink all of it.

How about a luxurious lunch in a relaxing space? A comparison meal of five types of spring Kyoto bowls. Boiled beef and golden egg bowl, Wagyu beef sushi, Wagyu shoulder loin sukiyaki, Sakura shrimp and beef tail kamameshi, Shark fin and beef tail with bean paste, Wagyu shabu-shabu, and strawberry sweets for dessert! It looks gorgeous and is sure to whet your appetite and get you excited!

Teori Zushi' has dishes of Kyoto foodstuffs and tempura, and it's so beautiful, cute, fashionable that I feel pity for eating. In a comfortable restaurant, it would be unique and interesting for you to roll it by yourselves.◎There're three restaurants in the city and they're different each other. You need to check beforehand whether reservation is needed or not. Sorry, but under 12 years old children can't use the restaurant.

The appetizer is smoked egg and smoked roast pork. The smoked scent is also good. And the meat sushi is smoked Tamate box. The sirloin, hiuchi, tonbi and smoked meat sushi are really delicious! I also have dessert.

Kaiseki cuisine served on the riverbed of Okukibune. Himuro somen noodles that can be enjoyed in an ice bowl only during the midsummer season. It looks very cool. Somen noodles served in a clear ice bowl are cold and delicious. The riverbed of Okukibune is cool. Enjoy somen noodles in an ice bowl while gazing at the flow of the river and enjoy the ultimate cooling sensation.

AWOMB is very popular restaurant that has four branches in Kyoto. Among them, restaurant in Gion Yasaka has authentic Kyoto's atmosphere for the shop curtain at the entrance. All ingredients are cooked carefully one by one, and we can choose as we like, then make 'Teae Zushi'.

This restaurant is located near Tenryuji Temple and you can enjoy meal in spacious room and calm atmosphere. A soft and savory smelled eel is cooked after taking your order, so it takes time to prepare but superb.

"Nishiki Obuya" is a Kyoto dashi chazuke specialty store that was reopened in March. You can enjoy several types of Ochazuke here. The two-tiered round bowl is cute. At this shop, seafood uses fresh ingredients selected by a fishmonger that has been in business for over 90 years. It's close to Nishiki Market, and it's also attractive that even one woman can easily enter it.

At the foot of Togetsu-kyo Bridge, the originally made udon noodle we eat in front of Arashiyama scenery is superb! Among the menu, 'Yuba Udon' with a big yuba (made from soybean milk) I recommend! Feel Kyoto into this Kyoto style udon noodle with tasty soup, thin and soft noodle.
