A Japanese, JAPANESE Meal


ice cold sake served in frozen bamboo cups

Sony and Leo, how do you like that title?  FYI - must be spoken in the appropriate high pitch.

This tiny place only takes Japanese speaking guests or those accompanied by nationals as the chef owner doesn't speak English and menus are only in Japanese.  Kyoto is well known for it's Kansai cuisine; available in this region and in this style.  Reiko chose beautifully for us!

Sony and I are happy campers to be sharing my last night
in Japan experiencing a foodie feast!
Leo not feeling great,  was a good sport hanging in
there through dinner.
