After a long time, delicious! ✨✨

During this summer, when I visited Kyoto, I took a train to Fushimi just to buy this sushi. I offered my prayers at the big red torii gate at Fushimi Inari Shrine, then hurried down the approach. It was already past lunchtime, so I was worried there might not be much left, but I was relieved to see a variety of takeout sushi lined up in front of the store. I hesitated, but ended up buying the usual inari sushi and a set of box sushi with conger eel. I returned to Kyoto Station and opened the package on the Shinkansen. The conger eel sushi had a perfectly sweet flavor. It was delicious. I brought them back as souvenirs to my home in Hakata, along with the inari sushi. I want to eat them again. Next time, I will make sure to visit Fushimi Inari Shrine properly. (July 2014) I visited Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Fushimi Inari Station on the Keihan Electric Railway. When I arrived, I was surprised. The station itself was already Inari Shrine! I thought it must be really crowded during New Year's or on "Hatsu Uma" day. As I walked along, somewhat following the flow of people, an old lady in front of me kept looking back at us with a puzzled expression... I followed her curiously, and we ended up at the parking lot for large buses! I had unknowingly followed a group from China who were returning to their bus!! It was dangerous... I regained my composure, retraced my steps, and this time headed towards the approach. As I walked past souvenir shops and fancy-looking soba restaurants, an old lady was selling sushi in front of a store. The prices were very reasonable! I was tempted by the mackerel sushi, but in the end, I chose the inari sushi. I bought a pack of 5 for 350 yen. I bought one and headed towards the shrine. I was amazed by the lavish main gate associated with Hideyoshi, passed through the thousands of torii gates with a sense of wonder, and tried the "light" stone... I couldn't climb up to the "mountain" for prayers due to lack of determination and physical strength, but I offered my respect to the red torii gates and the white Inari Shrine. I returned to Demachiyanagi on the Keihan Electric Railway, visited Ginkaku-ji Temple, walked along the (hidden) Path of Philosophy, and went to Kumano Wakoji Shrine. I drew a fortune slip with a Yatagarasu and took a little break. There were chairs and tables provided in a corner by the vending machines for resting, so I remembered the inari sushi in my bag and decided to have it here. It was a small, black sesame sushi. I was happy with the firm rice. I enjoyed the delicious inari sushi with hot roasted green tea from the vending machine at the Kumano Wakoji Shrine. I regretted not buying another one... It was so delicious that it became a topic of conversation for a long time. It was a wonderful break. (January 2014)

I visited Fushimi Inari for my first shrine visit of the year (p≧ᴗ≦q)~♪♫ It's right by Fushimi Inari Station on the Keihan Electric Railway. I walked around the grounds of Fushimi Inari Taisha and did some mountain climbing for about an hour (ﾉ*^▽^*)ﾉ I tried the Inari sushi with 3 pieces for 350 yen, which is like sushi rice wrapped in fried tofu. It was delicious! I also got another set of 3 Inari sushi for 400 yen nearby and did a little sushi tasting tour. The Kansai-style sushi Inari (350 yen) had really tasty vinegar rice. Fushimi Inari Taisha is known as the head shrine of all 30,000 Inari shrines in Japan. It's a popular spot for foreign tourists and was ranked 2nd in Japan in 2013. During the New Year's visit, it attracts the most visitors of any shrine or temple in the Kinki region (4th in Japan in 2010). I highly recommend visiting Fushimi Inari for your first shrine visit and trying some delicious Inari sushi while you're there. Enjoy your trip! ☻(ෆ◕◡◕ෆ）☺

Dragon-themed winter trip in Kyoto, final review. After relaxing at Sennyu-ji Unryuin, we rushed through our visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha. Oh no, the trip is already ending as we walk around Fushimi Inari Station, where there are many shops selling inari sushi and mackerel sushi. With both of us loving pressed sushi, we couldn't resist. We didn't know which sushi from which shop was good, but let's go here. "Kansai Sushi Mankichi" Fushimi Inari branch. The sign only says Kansai Sushi. This is our dinner for tonight. - Mackerel Sushi (whole fish) ¥2000 Back in Tokyo at night, we met the mackerel sushi. Despite being our first meeting, we measured it. It's huge, heavy. It's about average in taste, but the size is overwhelming. If you're sharing with two people, we recommend getting half the size.

Walking around the town of Fushimi in Kyoto, this time we visited Fushimi Inari. Fushimi Inari is famous for its thousands of torii gates. When we arrived around lunchtime, the shops seemed quite crowded, so we decided to buy some sushi from a shop called "Mankichi" and enjoy it in a nearby park. They offer various types of sushi including Inari-zushi and mackerel sushi, but you can't miss the Inari-zushi here. We bought some Inari-zushi and a sushi assortment and headed to the park. It was a warm sunny day, and the sushi was delicious. It would have been even better if there were plum trees around. The Inari-zushi here is not too oily, with a light and refreshing taste. The seasoning may vary depending on personal preference, but I personally enjoyed it. It's a great place to buy and enjoy sushi easily.

On the way back from Uji to Toji Temple. I stopped by because it was reported on TV that it had become the number one spot for foreigners due to its power spot effect. After a quick lunch, I bought some inari sushi. I hadn't checked the food blog, but they had it there. I think it was 380 yen for 5 pieces. It was pretty average, but well, it's Fushimi Inari, so you can't go without trying it. It's better than the souvenir shops, as it's a sushi restaurant.

I came to Fushimi Inari, so I decided to pray at the shrine and walk around the shops along the approach. I was looking for a shop selling Inari sushi, and as I was strolling around, I made eye contact with what seemed like a staff member. They recommended me to try their delicious sushi, so I decided to choose some. It was a takeout-only shop, and they had a variety of options like Inari sushi, Juroku sushi, and mackerel sushi. The prices were surprisingly affordable, so I bought a set for 430 yen. When I got home, I tried the sushi. Due to the reasonable price, I ate it casually and quickly.

There is a shop near Inari Station. I always end up buying it on my way to Inari Shrine. The sushi here is quite good, and I have been buying it for a long time. You can always enjoy it with peace of mind.
