Scenes of Ninomaru Goten

Dave. Day Thirteen. Ninomaru Goten

Dave was off to visit the Ninomaru Castle in Kyoto.

Yakitori…

… again. Well, everybody has his own way to remember things. Ours seems to be food. This time in a small restaurant in a small side street of Kyoto’s Ponto-cho Dori.

In the middle of Kyoto

… an oasis of piece and calm around Ponto-cho Dori.

Scenes of Kyoto

First day. First impressions.

Tempura in Kyoto

It was time.
One of the last items in our culinary lists was crossed out this evening. Love the lightness and freshness at the same time!

Making Soba!

Today, at the Hinode-ya restaurant near Mikuni, we had the opportunity to make our own buckwheat noodles (Soba), from the doe, to the rolling and finally the cutting. Then we ate a meal totally composed of soba, this time eaten cold, in two different styles.

Even the dessert was cold noodles!
Great people, great experience and as always great food!

Last evening in Mikuni as tomorrow we are first learning to make our own Soba (noodles) and then off to Kyoto.

But right now it’s time to meet the Marble Meat in person!

Ichi Ban Boschi, Mikuni’s best Korean Grill was simply a dream.
