UDON!

Menu

Review: 
Food: The udon is great! YUM!! JUST GO EAT IT!

Service: The staff seats guest using the list, not the queue, so you should write down your name and number of people on the paper in front of the store first! 

Recommended?

Tsujiri Honten (茶寮 都路里)
*English menu available*
Matcha desserts!~

Store front

Review: 
Food: Personally, I don't see what the hype is about over Tsujiri >.< I mean, it's just matcha ice cream! Again, I will say that I am not a matcha fan, so my opinions may be wrong! The matcha rice balls are unique though! 

Recommended?
If the queue is not that long, Yes! Or if you are a matcha fan, Yes!

*English menu available*
Dango!

Store front 

p.s. it's raining & there are lots of people, that's the best photo I can take

Interior

Dango & some matcha snack set

Review: 
Food: I don't really find anything special about dango.. But that's one of the Japanese snack you should try, I guess. The sauce on the dango is not bad though; with the rice cake, it taste not bad. 

Recommended?
If you want to try how dango taste like and you are going to Kiyomizu-dera temple, this is a nice rest stop.

Address: 梅園清水店, 339-1 Kiyomizu 3-chome, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture 605-0862, Japan

Opening hours: 11am to 6pm

Izuu (いづう)
*English menu available*
Kyoto style sushi

Store front

Traditional Japanese interior

Green tea

Miso

Review: 
Food: Kyoto style sushi is not for me! The taste of the sushi is really different, or as my friend says, "fermented". The portion of the sushi is also bigger than normal. The miso is quite bland. They serve saba sushi as well, but we are not going to order that! 
On the side note, the place is quite small and there weren't a lot of customers when we went there. 

Recommended?
Not really.. For me.. The choice to try depends on you!

Address: いづう, Japan, 〒605-0084 京都府京都市, 東山区 八坂新地清本町367
