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).
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.
Went to this speak easy the first night in Osaka Umeda (in the Kitashinchi area). Definitely had a lot of Japanese whisky selection.
The thing about this place is that they don’t have a menu (so it’s kinda hard to know how much you’re gonna pay unless you ask how much each whisky is).
I tried a version of Hibiki Harmony called the Blossom’s choice (around $400 a bottle). As well got a high ball (not sure what whisky). I would definitely come back here again (and try other whisky’s, but look up the prices online before ordering).
Also, the glasses looked pretty sick (as seen below)
