貴船川牀料理 Kibune, Kyoto, Japan

I found the small city Kibune on the web accidentally where is about one hour away from Kyoto City. I was attracted by the Kibune rivers and the traditional meal on the river bed. Therefore, I made reservation online 3 weeks before I arrived Kyoto to try this 川牀料理。 This meal was expensive, 11100yen just by myself. Well I believe it worths once in a life time. The restaurant is very comfortable with the mountain breeze. All food are seasonal. This meal is served from June to Sep30th every year. All customers are Japanese except me. I enjoyed the meal very much.

Beef shabu shabu on Gion street

Beef shabu shabu 3500yen. This is a fine shabu shabu restaurant on the Gion street. I was impreesed by the sincere service from the pretty waitress who cook for me. Even the beef was not kobe beef but it was very tender and delicious. Japanese uses soy sauce and sesame sauce for shabu shabu dressing. They were my favourite.
