Traditional Sweet Dishes
Mochi
Kyoto mochi is traditionally pounded by hand at festivals, producing a glossy, elastic texture that symbolizes good fortune and community spirit.
Yatsuhashi
Yatsuhashi is a cinnamon-flavored Kyoto sweet shaped like a folded triangle, and the soft unbaked version wrapped around sweet red bean paste is a must-try local specialty.
Wagashi
Kyoto wagashi are miniature seasonal landscapes you can eat, crafted to mirror flowers, leaves and festivals and designed to complement the bitterness of matcha during tea ceremonies.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Kaiseki
Kaiseki in Kyoto is a poetic multi-course meal where each dish is arranged like a painting, highlighting one perfect seasonal ingredient and a delicate balance of taste and texture.
Yudofu
Yudofu is humble simmered tofu served near Kyoto temples, often enjoyed straight from the pot in a kelp-infused broth to celebrate simplicity, purity and the monk's palate.
Obanzai
Obanzai is Kyoto's home-style cooking, made from small, seasonal ingredients sourced within the city and prepared with techniques passed down through generations, it embodies sustainable, everyday elegance.
Traditional Beverages
Matcha
Kyoto's matcha, especially from Uji, is prized for its bright green color and savory umami, and in the tea ceremony it is whisked into a froth to create a meditative moment of flavor and focus.
Sake
In Kyoto's Fushimi district the soft groundwater creates silky, mellow sake, and centuries-old breweries still use traditional wooden fermentation methods to produce nuanced flavors.

Goedkope hapjes overal als je ronddwaalt, buurtwinkels redden ons, over het algemeen erg veilig en beleefde mensen, fooi niet verwacht.

Reserveer populaire restaurants vroeg en check online de sluitingsdagen van musea. Veel kleine musea zijn op maandag dicht, plan hieromheen om nutteloze ritten te vermijden.

Kyoto voelde als een stap in een andere tijd, mooie tempels, eten is ongelooflijk, reken op drukte bij topplekjes maar het is nog steeds 4-5 nachten waard.

Ga vóór 7u naar het bamboebos van Arashiyama om selfie-rijen te vermijden, verken daarna de zijstraatjes voor betere koffie en minder toeristen.

Regenachtige week voor ons, tuinen zagen er magisch uit in motregen maar veel lopen in natte schoenen, lente of herfst zouden beter zijn.
