Do you visit Kyoto often?
My grandmother's hometown is Maizuru, Kyoto, and I used to come here often since I was a child. I often visited Kyoto when I was a child, and since there are many coffee shops there, I would visit Kyoto on my way to Osaka. But it wasn't until I became an adult that I began to visit more often. In Kyoto, I like "Cafe Soiree" and "Tsukiji.
. Both coffee shops have a Kyoto-like atmosphere, don't they? Lastly, we came to "Tea and Sake Tasuki Shinpukan" . . They serve shaved ice made with seasonal ingredients from Kyoto. The Sencha Gin Lime ice is said to be a menu item only available here.
Delicious and not too sweet! I like the fresh lime flavor and the aroma of the Aoyama pepper. Aoyama pepper goes well with sweets , it enhances the sweetness.
Sake Ice - Sencha Gin Lime - Aoyama Shoujyo - ¥1,020+TAX
The flavorful sencha green tea is enriched with the refreshing sensation of gin lime and a hint of spice from the Aoyama pepper. Combined with the crisp, smooth ice, it is a perfect way to relax after a hard day's shopping.
. It has a refreshing taste, doesn't it? . Served on a plate, it's also very elegant and photo-worthy.
Yes, it would be a great break from shopping!
Do you have any memories of Kyoto?
When I heard that "Kyoto Minami Kaikan" would be temporarily closed (reopening in 2019), I went straight there to see a movie when I went to Osaka on business. I had always seen the "Kyoto Minami Kaikan" on Instagram , and was curious about it.
It's a homey atmosphere, isn't it?
Yes . I had wanted to go there someday, so I was happy to finally go. . I felt that the theater is loved by the people of the city. Like all the stores I visited today, Kyoto has preserved what has always existed, and at the same time, it has incorporated new things while making the best use of them. I feel that this is a fusion of various people's ideas. While the idea that all that is new is good enough in many places these days, I think it is wonderful that this kind of culture is being passed on.
. You can sense the sense of respect for the old, or perhaps you would call it "learning from the past". The "Shinpukan" also makes use of the old exterior walls, while at the same time incorporating newness.
Yes, I did. Strangely enough, I felt a sense of security when I stepped into the building. . I also think it's wonderful that the people of the town understand the quality of such old things. I envied them for having such an identity. I would definitely like to visit again.
