As we hadn't been eating out last while we thought we would get some true Kyoto typical food.

Looked for ages for a special restaurant which had just closed. :(

So we ate next door. This is the dish called "typical Kyoto cuisine" and it wasn't a tourist place.

These dishes were all cold.

Fist one was like a corn like paste and mixed veg.

Second dish just aubergine in a fish sauce. Rather difficult to eat and texture was mushy, cold and slimy. So didn't eat much of that !

Last treat was Green cold veg. Like lettuce. Mild soy sauce. I feel I let Kyoto down by not finding better food but there you go. We loved the city. Adored wandering round.
