Long time no see and nice to meet you. Walking with the two of you, the reborn Shinpukan.
Go to brand new "ShinPuhKan

Nice to see you and nice to meet you.
Walking with the two, the reborn Shinpukan.

The word "Onkyo-Chishin" is an apt description of the city of Kyoto. While preserving the good old scenery, Kyoto is open to young creators and the next generation of culture, and its unique mix of old and new has evolved the city of Kyoto. This philosophy is reflected in the Shinpukan, which was renovated after a four-year recharging period, retaining the retro building of the Kyoto Central Telephone Station completed in 1926 and housing a number of ongoing tenants, including Japan's first "Ace Hotel. The two visited the newly renovated Shinpukan, FPM's Tomoyuki Tanaka, who was born and raised in Kyoto and has known the area for a long time, and model Mineyoshi Kotani, who was visiting for the first time, freely browsed the stores, watched movies, tasted sweets, tried on yukata (light cotton kimono), and played records. They also take a close-up look at the charms of each of them. They will give you hints on how to enjoy Shinpukan to the fullest!

The concept behind (Dis)sizen is nature and craft. The dishes are also handmade by artisans.

I am more attracted to the taste of a product that was born by chance or is unique, rather than something that is mass-produced in a factory, even if it is the same type of container. I like to know the stories behind things. Sometimes that is the deciding factor in my decision to buy something. This is true not only for sundries, but also for clothes.

. I can feel the depth of the same thing.

Even if it is the same thing, the way you see it will change depending on the feelings you put into it, and knowing that makes you want to cherish it even more. If I can find something in common with myself, I will become even more attached to it. I want to cherish the process of creation. . I want to value the process more than the result, as I do when I express myself. I want to have as many reasons as possible for what I like.

Non-alcoholic amazake sour lemon ¥550 in TAX , Mitarashi kinako (3P) ¥250 in TAX
This refreshing drink is based on amazake, also known as "drinking beauty essence," and is blended with lemon. The dumplings that accompany the drink are sweet and juicy, and their small size means that you can eat as many as you like.

. And here is the original drink and dumplings. How do you like the taste?

It is delicious with a slightly salty, mature taste. It has a Kyoto-like elegance. . It is small in size, so you can eat many kinds. I'm not much of a sake drinker, but this is non-alcoholic and refreshing, with a hint of amazake flavor that makes it easy to drink. It is perfect for summer.
