travelerererAfter shopping, I felt a little hungry, so I came to this Japanese restaurant in the nearby block. The Japanese karaage, salmon sashimi and salmon in this restaurant are all very good. I personally recommend ordering them. The price-performance ratio is also relatively high.

M25***40This restaurant is located near Kiyomizu Temple. It is worth visiting this restaurant for lunch when visiting Kiyomizu Temple. The decoration of the restaurant is very nostalgic Japanese style, so it is very beautiful, and you can taste delicious soy products.

M25***40Service was slow at first, we were left alone for 15 minutes, then after a few attempts finally got their attention and ordered drinks. The lady who cooked at the table was delightful and excellent. The beef was excellent. Overall a bit plain and expensive place for what was on offer. In good weather you can sit out back on the terrace and enjoy your meal.

没有蜡ollingI heard that the queue at the Hirokawa gate of Arashiyama in Kyoto lasted until 2 o'clock today. [Cool][Cool][Cool] Come on, tell me if there are many people at Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, and Gion in Kyoto today? [Laugh without saying anything][Laugh without saying anything][Laugh without saying anything] Anyway, I'm here today... ​

PrincessttWhen you come to eat at their restaurant, I recommend you to order their tofu series. However, for those of us who like strong flavors, it still feels a bit light. They also make tofu with various flavors, which is very attentive.

摆渡修行A very ordinary traditional barbecue restaurant. Us:? "Tongue, diaphragm, sirloin, tenderloin, leg, throat, tripe, tripe, these are the parts that ordinary barbecue restaurants have. My family just uses good meat and grills it carefully." "For a piece of meat, depending on the part, meat quality, and state, how much salt to sprinkle, how much pepper to add, how long to marinate, how big the fire to use, and how much to grill, all of these can be tested." "That's all I do."

乔乔风I once heard a saying that in Kyoto, if a store is not open for more than 100 years, Kyoto people will not call it an old store. The restaurant we are talking about today can be considered an old store. Yusanlou was founded in 1764 during the Edo period. It has been more than 250 years. It has been passed down to the ninth generation. It is located near Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. One of the historical backgrounds should be of interest to those who like the Shinsengumi and other history because there are bullet marks from the Toba-Fushimi Battle on the door frame of the entrance. Of course, I only found out about it when I was doing research later. If you are interested, you can search it yourself.
