Yuzu Sake

This is my favorite sake, which is called Yuzu Komachi. It is really smooth to drink and is able to enjoy Yuzu taste. You can get only in Japan...I think. If you have any change, please taste it. 

Izutsu Yatsuhashi

I would like to introduce Japanese traditional Kyoto's sweet, is called Yatsuhashi. Izutsu Yatsuhashi, a specialty of Kyoto Izutsu Yatsuhashi is a well-established confectionary of Kyoto. Baked in the shape of a Koto, a traditional musical instrument of Japan, its name comes from Kengyo Yatsuhashi (1614-1685) , a famous Koto composer and performer. It is made from only natural rice flour, cinnamon, sesame, soybean flour and sugar and is, therefore, a healthy confectionary. 

Salt House

There are many delicious dishes in this restaurant. You need to try French Fried. It is so good. I also like the size of dish, which is not too big and not too small. Have  a great dinner in Salt House.
