In the morning, I had a healthy porridge. The grandma there provided lots of information and I enjoyed it. I want to come back again. The porridge with egg was 450 yen.

The warm porridge with a friendly auntie is truly comforting.

This is a shop located south of Senbon Kitaoji, down the street south of the elementary school. The building is dark brown with a glass sliding door at the entrance. Inside, the floor and furnishings are in natural brown, creating a warm and spacious atmosphere. You need to take off your shoes before entering. I had the Kyoto-style porridge, which was filled with plenty of ingredients. The soup was smooth and had the rich flavor of melted vegetables, creating a satisfying taste. Despite it being spring, mornings can still be chilly, so a warm porridge breakfast is like a fire in the body. After getting energized from the porridge, I went to appreciate the elegant weeping cherry blossoms at Kennin-ji Temple.

Kyoto is known for its vegetable-filled Kyoto zosui. The taste is light and the version with egg is especially appetizing. It has a somewhat day service-like atmosphere, so I'll give it a lower rating on purpose, but the vegetable-packed zosui available from 6 am is perfect for a post-all-nighter meal or breakfast!

I went to have breakfast! The atmosphere was cozy! Kuni-san's personality was great! The warm dokudami tea was nice! The porridge had a healthy taste! I like vegetables, but struggled a bit with the bitterness of the vegetables and the acidity of the pickles. I heard that he used to be a professor at a Buddhist university. It was a very enjoyable space!

I got attracted to the booth at the event because of the word "koji" and made a purchase. This time, I bought homemade plum rice balls (2 pieces) for 220 yen. Each rice ball is also sold for 100 yen without the koji pickles. The content and taste of the purchase were as follows: The rice balls were made of light green peas and sakura shrimp mixed rice with homemade plum inside, shaped like a bundle, and came with daikon, burdock root, and carrot koji pickles. The appearance of the rice balls was nice with red and green colors. However, when my mother and I tried them, we found them to be lightly flavored. The flavor of the beans was good, and the rice was cooked well, but the taste was lacking. The plum part was slightly sour but acceptable. However, we couldn't eat the rice balls alone. The koji pickles were sour and hard, not suitable for children, and might be too tough for older people used to sour flavors. Overall, while it may be good for health, I don't think I would buy them again. It's important to enjoy the taste as it helps with nutrient absorption. Unfortunately, this purchase was disappointing.
