It's a cozy little shop. Not crowded with foreign tourists, so you can eat quietly and slowly. I was drawn to the "Yuba hot pot" and decided to try it. It had a slightly creamy texture, and I think there were eggs in it? The portion was just right for me, but seemed a bit small for my husband. It cost 5,000 yen for the two of us, which is expected for a tourist spot. I might not go back since I want to try other restaurants, but it's a nice place to enjoy a leisurely meal.

- Seriously Kyoto Solo Trip ~ Kyoto Sightseeing Tour Edition That Will Never Fail (37) ~ Day 4 Lunch at Yasaka-Uotou. 10/10 (Friday). Continuing from Kiyomizu Temple. It's about lunchtime. It's the 4th day of the Kyoto trip, so it's time for a little luxury. And after walking around Kiyomizu Temple, there are many Kyoto cuisine restaurants around Yasaka area. It's tempting to go in, right? So, I visited Uotou. It's a relatively small restaurant, but the atmosphere is very nice. It feels like a Kyoto restaurant. Kaiseki cuisine is relatively affordable for lunch. I hesitated, but ordered the Matsukado Bento for 3,300 yen. Also, a bottle of beer. Just one. The appetizers were "yuba" and shiitake mushroom. And then, the main part of the bento was brought out. Wow, it looks beautiful and luxurious. Let's take a detailed look at each dish! Poached conger eel and sweet shrimp sashimi. I'm from Kanto, but I love conger eel. It looks beautiful too. On top are plums. Simmered dishes. Or, simmered together. Ikura, grilled salmon, pickled mackerel, egg, edamame, small fish... Are the small fish young sweetfish? Rice with shredded shiso leaves. In the center, there's a yuba hotpot. It was my first time eating yuba hotpot. Is it available in Tokyo too? Finally, they brought me some soup and it ended. Honestly, I don't know the depth of Kyoto cuisine, the level, or the price range. But personally, I was satisfied. By the way, it seemed like there was a second floor. Well, let's take a stroll around Yasaka for a bit... The article will continue. The restaurant information is here below: Yasaka Uotou
