    Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Higashiyama-ku Hanami Kojiro Shijo Shimosu Leew Nozomu Nishiiru
    This udon restaurant is in Komatsu-cho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. It's famous for its Negi Udon with Kyoto's characteristically soft noodles, topped with plenty of Kujo negi onions and grated ginger cultivated by contracted farmers. The shop is very popular and there are often lines.

    うどんがまず不味い。腰のないふにゃふにゃのうどんだった。京のうどんはそうでないはず。出汁は生姜の香りが強すぎる。だから味がわからない。九条ネギは美味しい。たっぷり乗ってる。これだけなら他にもある。なぜ客が並ぶのか?多分祇園になるからか?

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Higashiyama-ku Gionmachikitagawa 254-3
    Founded in 1927, Gonbei is a venerable noodle shop located about five minutes' walk from Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Line in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward. Its most popular dishes are kitsune udon (Kujo green onions on top of noodles cooked in a carefully created broth) and oyako don (chicken and egg over rice). There is often a line out the door at lunch time, since the restaurant is so popular with local people, including geiko (geisha) and maiko (apprentice geisha).

    We go around gion area and lots of people were searching for the lunch place then we found this noodle place wait in long queue, we decided to try it, they have Chinese menu also Korean menu. I...

    Ordered the hot nishin soba and the cold soba with herring and grated radish, both were delicious and I’m still thinking about the tasty herring a couple of weeks later. Would recommend when in Kyoto.

    飲食店でこんなに気分が悪くなったのは初めてです。 私が足を組んで料理を待っていると、足を組んだまま食べるわけないよな?と高圧的な態度で店主に注意されました。正直、それくらい良いだろと思いつつも、すみませんと謝って姿勢を直して食事させてもらいました。そこまでは別によかったのですが、他のお客さんに足を組むなんて失礼だよな、有り得ないといった趣旨の話を私に聞こえるように、何度も話していて、腹立たしかった...

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku Yamatooji Dori 4-jo Agaru Tokiwacho 149-1

    にしんそばが有名な松葉ですが、この店は歌舞伎座の本店から見て四条通りを挟んで反側にあります。お昼時は混雑すると思って午後1時半近くになって行きました。割とお客さんが少なくゆったりできそうです。「にしんそば」を注文しました。そばは二八位でしょうか?つなぎが多くて喉越しは良いのですが、ちょっと田舎そばが好きな自分からは真逆のそばで物足りなさがあります。そばの出汁は昆布の味がしっかり利いたもので美味しい...

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
