Hello everyone, Foodie, I’m Liz. This episode is a special feature on walking in Kyoto. Can you just walk without taking a ride in Kyoto? Let me reveal the traditional food that you can experience while walking in Kyoto, coffee shops , dessert shops, and noodle shops, etc. I want to come to Kyoto You must watch this episode. If you come to Kyoto for a short time and you don’t have the ambition to run around, I would suggest that you stay in the city center and take a walk to eat, eat and go shopping. Walking in Kyoto is super comfortable, like me this time. Yes, there is a hotel in Kawaramachi called Good Nature Hotel. It is very close to Kamogawa, Gion Shijo, Karasuma Oike or Nishiki Market . You can also see from the map that most of the stores I chose are located in this area. There are a lot of delicious food and cute shops nearby. It’s very convenient to go back to the restaurant after shopping . I highly recommend it. Where will I take you? Just follow my footsteps and go to the most popular coffee shop in Kyoto. It’s the first time you arrive in Kyoto. One day is already in the afternoon. Before dinner, we decided to go to a coffee shop . The first coffee shop on my wish list is this one located near the Nishiki Market. The reason why I want to come is because I When I saw several of my barista friends visiting this coffee shop when they came to Kyoto , I wondered if it was really that powerful. I didn’t expect it to be really powerful . Ogawa Cafe in Kyoto was founded in 1952. He has 11 coffee shops in Japan The branch, Sakamachi Nishiki, will open in February 2022. In addition to renovating a 60-year-old two- story Kyomachiya building , it also uses coffee to promote sustainable development and their signboard The bartending really surprised me. The main thing is the new experience of coffee . It uses the concept of bartending or dessert to make original coffee drinks . Like this cup of Soubi, he blended rose and spices to make non-alcoholic gin . The hand-brewed coffee with bee syrup and flannel has a charming aroma and just the right sweetness. The hot coffee has a different taste compared to the cool fresh cream on the top. It is a very delicate cup of blended drink. Another cup of signature blended drink is called Perfetto . Look It has a three-layered beautiful appearance. It uses espresso and rum syrup . It has a deep flavor like bittersweet chocolate. It has a very strong aroma of coffee roasting . It also has a bitter taste but it will return to sweetness. Then I also recommend Vienna coffee with white miso flavor. He added white miso to the fresh cream. The unique sweet and salty taste is like caramel. It is a super delicious cup of coffee milk . Because we visited before dinner, we only ordered drinks . We also highly recommend everyone to come for breakfast. Or a simple lunch. There are many traditional old restaurants in Kyoto that have been around for hundreds of years . This time I ate two . The first thing I want to introduce to you is this famous oden restaurant, Oshicho. He founded it in 1882. It is the well-known Japanese writer and gourmet . I love the shop and I read the article by Ye Yilan many years ago. I have always wanted to come here, and this time my wish finally came true . We arrived at 8:00 p.m. I didn’t expect that the more you eat, the more appetizing you are. You have to ask the boss for an order when ordering in octopus. You can order two to three items at a time . In addition to the basic items such as big root tofu and eggs , there are also some items on the blackboard that you may not understand. For example , What are octopus , fried skin, alando, etc. ? octopus means octopus , so you must eat this octopus taco when you come here. A whole octopus foot is cooked so soft and tender that it melts in your mouth. The fragrance of the ocean spreads super It’s delicious. The fried skin looks like marinated pork belly . It’s actually whale skin. It really tastes like fatty meat , but it’s more elastic and chewy. It ’s sweet and sweet. It’s delicious when eaten with yellow mustard and chopped green onion. Hi, but eating whales is still a controversial matter. Please find relevant discussions for yourself . It’s just that Japan has had the habit of eating whales since the Jomon period. At present, the annual consumption of whales in Japan is about 3,000 to 5,000 tons. Well, here I am not encouraging everyone to eat whale meat . I also encountered such ingredients for the first time during my travels. I just want to share with you. Back to the mysterious ingredients of Oden . So what is Alando? In fact, it is a kind of fish board tofu. As a kind of fish paste product, it is made of QQ ㄉㄨㄞㄉㄨㄞ and has some umami taste. In fact , it tastes a bit like hot pot ingredients. I think eating in a century-old restaurant is really more delicious than ordinary hot pot restaurants. So Alando originally means Holland in Japanese . Why is fish board tofu called Alando here ? It’s like tamagoyaki , the soup is full of layers layer by layer, the center is like an unbaked cheesecake, and the center is like an unbaked cheesecake. Together , don’t forget to ask the boss to hide the menu . We ordered all 3 hidden dishes today, and my favorite is green seaweed . It is soaked in a thicker broth, with the flavor of soy sauce and mirin . The aroma of seaweed is super Plump , crunchy and crunchy , sucking it into the mouth is more than addictive. This seaweed may be my number one tonight . The four of us went to eat it. The total cost at the checkout was 17,700 yen . The exchange rate at that time was 0.23 equivalent to about 4071 Taiwan dollars. Personally, I don’t think it’s too expensive , but we didn’t order too much because we were too full for lunch. However , the octopus is famous for being “expensive” and his menu has no price. You may order randomly and check out. It was only when I found out that I ate a lot of money , so I want to remind everyone to pay attention to this point. I want to say sorry to everyone because this is a shop that cannot be reached by walking. This buckwheat and restaurant five is located in Kyoto. It takes about 19 minutes to take a taxi from Kawaramachi, where we live, to the surrounding area of Daitokuji Temple in Kita District. Why do we want to eat? It’s all due to Takako Tokiwa. I found her recommendation in the Kyoto special of &premium magazine in February this year. So What is Takako Tokiwa's taste? How do you get in ? Are you still open? Shall we wait here? Funny, the door is on the other side . In fact, Soba and Cuisine Go has a lineage of a famous restaurant. He is a sister restaurant of the high-end restaurant "Wakuden" founded in 1870. It has a Michelin star Recommended by Bib Gourmand Guests can enjoy relaxing soba noodles in an elegant atmosphere of a restaurant The set lunch at noon also allows you to feel the power of the old restaurant . Today I ordered a lunch set of 4,400 yen , which includes 5 seasonal side dishes , a warm appetizer, soba noodles, and refreshments. The soba noodles I chose are hot soup noodles with daikon mud flavor . I think The dashi soup is delicious, deep and powerful , the seasoning is a little sweet , and it fits well with daikon puree . The soba noodles are made of juwari , that is, 100% buckwheat flour . It has an aroma and a grainy texture. Of course, the chewiness will be weaker in hot soup. I think it’s still a delicious bowl of soba noodles , but maybe it’s because of famous tourist restaurants . The service on this day was very rushed and we were rushed all the time . Pay attention, after eating soba noodles, it is convenient to go shopping around Kawaramachi, where we live, from Kita-ku. Here, Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Street is a major shopping area , and we will pass by it almost every day during this trip. If you are tired from shopping Now, why not go to Meiyuan to have a rest and eat some sweet soy sauce dumplings , so what I want to introduce is Gandang Chaya Jingmeiyuan , a famous sweets brand in Kyoto. The famous store since its establishment is sweet soy sauce dumpling (みたらし団子), and its red bean soup and warabi cake are also good . Located in the Teramachi Kyogoku shopping street is his Sanjo Teramachi store . It has a retro space with Japanese and Western fusion. I feel very comfortable enjoying traditional Japanese desserts inside. The other stores in Plum Garden also have confectionery-type desserts . You are welcome to sit and have a look. Also in Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Street , there is a traditional Japanese food that you must eat in Kyoto, Mishima. The sukiyaki at Tei has a history of 150 years. Although Mishima Tei has branches in Takashimaya Department Store and Daimaru Department Store in Kyoto, but the one in Teramachi Kyogoku is the main store. You must come to feel the historical atmosphere . However, it is difficult to book this store , like me. There is a friend who didn’t have a chance with him this time. How did I book it? Because I pass by it often these days . Just one morning , I walked in and asked if there was any seat tonight. A deposit of 1,000 yen is reserved for me , so you can try this trick. When it comes to sukiyaki , I actually want to talk about the history of Japanese eating beef. Do you know that Japan did not eat beef for more than 1,000 years? Meat Then why is this ? It was influenced by Emperor Tenmu who believed in Buddhism in the 7th century AD. He promulgated a ban on eating meat in order not to kill animals. Cows , horses, dogs, apes, and chickens were all forbidden . It was not until the Meiji Restoration for civilization and enlightenment that everyone They began to eat meat, so eating beef was also regarded as a behavior similar to that of Westerners. The first popular beef dish was beef pot , which is also the predecessor of sukiyaki. What does it have to do with Mishima Tei? Mishima Tei opened in 1873 This is almost equal to the entire Meiji Restoration, so coming to Mishima Tei to eat sukiyaki is like going back to the 19th century, and you can taste the taste of civilization and civilization . Today I ordered the ordinary evening set meal Tsukisukiyaki and added a slice of goku Since Mishima Tei is in Kyoto, what he cooks is Kansai-style sukiyaki , that is to say, he first puts butter on the pan , sprinkles sugar , and then puts the beef for frying , and then adds sauce to taste instead of Kanto-style sukiyaki. He cooks the beef directly with the adjusted sauce. I think it tastes more delicious if the beef is fried first , and the sugar is added before the sauce. I think the final seasoning is actually not too sweet , and then it is wrapped in egg juice and served in the mouth. You can experience the feeling of the Wagyu fat melting in your mouth , which is quite healing. I think the beef in the ordinary set meal is already delicious . I am afraid of the Wagyu that is too oily, so for me, this kind of beef is just right. Okay, but I still added a piece of top beef . The price for one piece is 5,750 yen , so I thought to myself , is it really better? The aroma of the beef is more, and the amount of fat in the two pieces is similar , but the aroma of the fat is not the same as the freshness. Kansai-style sukiyaki, the vegetables are cooked after the beef is cooked . Although I only ate 3 pieces of beef , I added vegetables and rice There is also miso soup , which is quite full. The set meal also has some side dishes that I didn’t have, but I couldn’t eat it. At the end of the checkout, the total price was 24,986 yen with oolong tea . Calculated at the exchange rate of 0.23 at that time, it was about NT$5,800 . It’s really not cheap. For those who think dinner is too expensive, you can come for the lunch set , which is half the price of dinner . I think the evening set dishes are quite redundant. The best thing is the sukiyaki itself , so the lunch set is more than enough . Mishima Tei It is very representative. If you come to Kyoto, you must try it . Finally, I would like to recommend you a place where you can have lunch easily . This is Japanese まぜ麺MARUTA. It is located on Marutamachi Street, near the Kyoto Gyoen . It is also a good place for walking If you are like me, walking up from Kawaramachi Sanjo or Karasuma Oike, you will pass many specialty shops in the alleys , including the Kyoto branch of "Ippodo Tea Shop" and the oldest foreign confectionary shop in Kyoto, "Murakami Kaixindo". You can plan to go in the walking path , so why do I come to this noodle shop? The reason is that one of my Hong Kong foodie friend Jonathan recommended me. I believe in his taste . Then I checked the IG of this restaurant and found his bamboo shoots. The sub-mixed noodles look super delicious. You must try it . まぜ麺 means mixed noodles. It is regarded as a branch of ramen in Japan . This MARUTA uses seasonal vegetables to make a variety of seasonal mixed noodles , which are very thick. The aroma of the sansho pepper, the bamboo shoots are not so sweet, and the taste is quite crisp. Then he sliced it into thin slices and then grilled it. We visited at the end of April, and there was cabbage noodles . I think it is more delicious than the bamboo shoots noodles. The noodles are so good. The hot ones are completely different. In the end , we added the sour orange noodles that are fixed on the menu. It is very pleasing , very sour and a little bit spicy. It is quite appetizing . After lunch in MARUTA, you can walk a few steps to Kamogawa . Days, walking along the Kamo River is very pleasant and comfortable The above is the Kyoto walking food special of this episode . I hope you still like it. I believe that many of my audience should have been to Kyoto many times . How do you think the reference value of this list?
