eX cafe's good seller menu 'Hokuhoku Odango Set'. Customers grill them on portable clay stove by their own, which will be very enjoyable and special. When your odango becomes brown a little, put sauce, and eat the freshly grilled one! The warm Matcha also makes you feel relief.

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.

It's opened as a knot of Kyoto and NY. They offer a coffee that you can drink only here, but what most ordered is nothing but Dashimaki Sandwich. Fluffy dashimaki is excellent with a bun baked by a popular bakery in Kyoto.◎A side menu became a star menu. This dashimaki, cooked specially by a dashimaki shop, contains much dashi soup, so you can taste Kyoto style sandwich.

A persimmon delicious as it is becomes a pickle! It keeps the texture and sweetness as it is, and pickle's saltness is excellent. Though it's like a sweet, it matches alcoholic drinks so much that I can't stop eating! The kindness to remove the seeds makes us easy to eat.

This 'Ebisu Yaki' is sold during 'Toka Ebisu Big Festival (a festival held around January 10th)' of Kyoto Ebisu Shrine. Smiling Ebisu (a Japanese god of business and one of the Seven Gods of Fortune) makes us happy. It contains azuki-bean jam and tastes like dorayaki. I like its small size that I can eat it in one mouth.◎There're often a line of people because it's photogenic for SNS. During the festival, they make it in the store, and you can buy one and take it out. They'll be sold during 1/8-1/12, but you need to confirmin detail.

The sweet shop is at Sannen zaka slope which leads to Kiyomizu temple. The Mitarashi dango (a dumpling covered with kuzu sauce seasoned with soy sauce and sugar) is good for people tired from walking on the slope. Because it is not big, I can eat 5 sticks. And a fresh warm one is exceptional.

Kyoto's specialty is yu-dofu; soybean soft curd warmed gently in hot water. Therefore, I had wanted to eat once at 'Okutan' with a long and honorable history. Their specialty is own made 'Mukashi Dofu' used natural bittern; a coagulant extracted from seawater. It remains the firmness (tofu usually becomes soft after it boiled) and taste of soybeans.

At this café, 'Nyanko (Kitty) Parfait' is famous, but I like this Maccha (Green Tea) Parfait. Rich maccha ice cream and azuki beans, you can enjoy much of Japanese taste. Then you find cute shiratama (sweet rice ball) hiding in it.◎Although it's a book café, they have cut's goods and diorama, and you can enjoy it lazily. They open here till the middle of July 2017, and will move to other place in August 2017.

Although Kyoto has a strong image of Washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine), Kyoto takes the third-place of Gyoza consumption and there are many shops in the city. Among them, Sukemasa is particular about foodstuffs and taste of Kyoto. And their Gyoza has delicious rich taste but also light like Japanese cuisine, that I'm convinced of the popularity with women.

Their coffee and café latte are well sold, but also 'Watermelon-bar Tonic' is recommendable♡ Frozen watermelon and Japan's popular ice 'Suika-bar' are put dynamically! It's like a dessert but it's a delicious and satisfying drink .◎For only summer, they prepare also coffee made by cold water. It's very best for you to drink them on the roof top under the summer sky on hot day!
