So here it is, finally my last Kyoto post. ^_^ Having come all the way to Kyoto, I felt I’d been eating pretty carelessly so far, so I went looking for a kamameshi place with a good reputation on Tabelog. It’s called Tsukimura, tucked away in a corner of Gion.
This is what the sign looks like. It’s a small place, so if you don’t book, you need to get in right when it opens.
“Toriaezu nama~” — first things first, I order a beer.
The little snack that comes with it is cute.
Chicken liver, ordered as a nibble (not 100% sure that’s what it is)
It’s pretty pricey, but I have no complaints about the taste.
The mixed kamameshi I ordered
I guess the Korean equivalent would be dolsot yeongyangbap (stone-pot nutritious rice)? The ingredients didn’t look like anything special, but it was tastier than I expected. The sauce had soaked right through. The only problem… this one pot cost about 3,000 yen… Dishes like this are a bit expensive in Japan to begin with, but this place is seriously expensive. Still, it tasted good, so I wasn’t disappointed…
The soup…
This didn’t look like much either, but it was delicious…

I’d rate this Kyoto trip a success, in its own way. I’m already looking forward to where in Kyoto I’ll visit next autumn and what I’ll eat…
