Kyoto 🎐 Classic Tourist Route But Really Good Foods

Highly Recommend Two Restaurants that We Found in Kyoto!
Icchan Ramen
Oh My LOVE! This Jamaican ramen restaurant is definitely my door-keeping small hidden gem. The spicy coconut ramen was simply so good. All flavours were balanced so well and the noodle was so bouncy.
Can ask the chef to remove all spice~

Jisai Kyouman Gion
Best Grilled Eel Rice I've had so far. It is common that the eel can be too dry or too greasy. But the chef handles it so well. The eels were served with the perfect amount of fat. My mouth is watery.
Need to book in advance. A bit pricy but definitely worth it.

And this one in Nara:
Izasa-Nakatani-hompo umekaze-hiroba
It's very close to Nara Park, tourist-friendly. Does not need to book.
They have really special steamed sushi, for the first time in my life I came to know that the fish can be cooked for sushi, pardon my ignorance; and persimmon leaf sushi, which definitely brings in a new flavour.
