Kyoto, Japan｜Zameshiya Kyotofushimiten

It’s the kind of what-you-see-is-what-you-get, cafeteria style restaurant. The staff will calculate everything after we settled down into our seats, then leave the order sheet on the table, with which we will use to pay for the food when we are done. Such a convenient system! And not expensive at all.

There are many options to choose from, so it's recommended when you don't have anything you want to eat.

You pick up your favorite dishes on a tray and have the staff type them into a terminal at your table. Pay your bill after your meal. The dishes can be heated. This is useful because each family member with different tastes and portion sizes can eat what they like. The store is also clean and child-friendly!
