Kyoto Eats

Traditional Japanese lunch at Wakuden inside of Isetan at Kyoto Station. They only have course lunches. Here are my top 2 dishes:

Bamboo Shoots wrapped in Tofu Skin

The interior, plating and of course the food was very traditional.

Tai-Sushi (Sea Bream Sushi)

For dinner, we went to Tsukimura, a kamameshi restaurant that has been around for over 50 years. They also have seasonal side dishes.

Interior.

Eggplant with Miso Sauce

The eggplant was extremely juicy and went perfectly with the rich and sweet miso.

Fried seasonal, rare whitefish (Sorry, I forgot the name!)

Tori Kamameshi (Chicken Rice)

I would recommend either of these places when in Kyoto. They were both very authentic (especially Tsukimura) and delicious.
