A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went to a Starbucks in one of the really older parts of the Gion district called Masuyacho. This Starbucks is not only in a really old “house”, but you get to sit on the floor while eating / drinking (aka eating Japanese style).
I ordered a mocha, and a sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. The interesting thing about this one is that it also had ketchup in it (the Japanese love their ketchup).
We stopped by this teppanyaki place for dinner in the Gion region in Tokyo. Great find.
For drinks, got several highballs (obviously).
For food, got Negi-yaki with Japanese beef, and Fried noodles with salt and garlic. Both really great. (A friend got the mushroom and corn vegetables. Definitely recommend).
(Ps clothes will smell like food for a while unless you wash them).
In the Gion area of Kyoto, we went to this speak easy. We couldn’t easily find it at first because the front door said “Book Store”.
Got several drinks, and also tried some from friends). From the ones listed below, I will say my favorites are the chocolate espresso martini, the bees fashion (ie old fashioned but using honey and another type of bitters).
So went to this McDonalds twice (both for a quick lunch when arriving and leaving Kyoto).
Tried two different burgers. One was the Teriyaki McBurger. Got to say, I was expecting to to be an actual burger, not sausage patty. It tasted alright, but wouldn’t get it again (my friend got the Teriyaki chicken filet-o (crispy chicken) and it was pretty good).
The other burger I got (which is along the lines of Kuma Karnak) was pretty good. It was a sweet sauce, on an actual burger (not on a sausage patty). I also did get fries, and that was pretty standard.
