A winter stroll through Kyoto without sightseeing, just eating and drinking.

I went to Kyoto after 10 months. I had wanted to come three times a year but ended up with a gap... Kyoto has a lot of restaurants and just going around restaurants is enjoyable. This time, I enjoyed the food and drink scene in Kyoto without doing any sightseeing.

ALKAA

I got off at Kyoto Station and went straight to a wine bar. It's a convenient and grateful bar that's open from daytime near the station. It's been a while since I last came. It's still daytime, so I restrained myself and headed to the hotel.

HOTEL MYSTAYS Kyoto Shijo

This time staying at a hotel for the first time. The room type is a Standard Queen. There is plenty of space between the desk and the bed, making it comfortable. It was reasonably priced for its convenient location.

Shunsai Imari

This time, I went to Imari to enjoy the seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed it deliciously with a flavorful hot sake. Finally, we finished with a bowl of rice topped with ground sansho pepper.

dernier-bar

It was my first time entering this bar. The staff kindly talked to me even though it was my first time. It is a casual bar where I enjoyed original cocktails and Japanese craft gin. It seemed to be a popular place for regular customers.

Cafe Tyrol

Last time, I ate curry toast. So I wanted to try curry on its own, and this time, my wish came true. It was a curry with the delicious Showa-era spice I had expected.

IOLITE COFFEE ROASTERS

I will have a delicious coffee. The matcha lamington was not too sweet and went well with light roasted coffee. They use Uji matcha for it.

Ouchgohan Nakajimaya

It's been about 2 years since my last visit. This time, I tried various vegetables as well. The hot sake with a rich umami flavor was also very good.

Gohandokoro Yaosada

I had chirashi sushi for lunch. When I come to Kyoto, I often choose Japanese restaurants.

Kameya Yoshinaga Honten

I tried a premium Japanese-style confectionery inside the store. The pink wagashi had a taste of strawberry milk! It was delicious. There was well water springing outside the store, and I was able to enjoy it inside the store.

HOTEL MELDEA SHIJO KAWARAMACHI ANEX

This time, it was my first stay. The room was simple in design and had good sunlight.

Kyoto Beer Lab

I came to enjoy Kyoto's craft beer. I have come several times. I don't see a strong individuality, but there are many delicious beers. The thick-sliced duck meat was also delicious.

Turquoise Bar

First visit. The atmosphere was nice and there was a wide variety of alcohol. I had Japanese craft gin, an original liqueur with sweet potato rum, and cocktails. It was so good that I want to come back again.

Mensho Ichiryumanbai Kawaramachi

It was very good! The soup looked dark but surprisingly not too strong, and the noodles were thick but also not too heavy.

Common Well

Final day. Morning before returning home. I have used it several times. A good location to take a break. The Charcoal Latte surprised me at first with its darkness.
