Kizugawa, Kyoto, Japan｜Too Chaya

We always get a very warm welcome from the super friendly owner when we visit with our family. Food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Rice, mushrooms, bamboo are grown by the owner.

This is a restaurant near Joruriji Temple. There are some cats next to the store, but they don't get along well with people or come into the store, so you don't have to worry about them. The staff are also very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. This time, I ate wild vegetable soba. The wild vegetables are well seasoned and have a sweet taste that goes well with the soup. It was a little chilly, but it was very warm. Many people ordered Yoshiya, so I saved it for next time. If you are a regular customer, you may be able to choose the number of mochi you want. . .

It was my first visit in several years. It was already past noon, but there were two or three groups of customers. Cats are hanging out in front of the store. Time continues to flow in a relaxed manner. I was so hungry that I ordered wild vegetable soba and warabi mochi without thinking too much. Later, I realized that the set meal came with sesame tofu, and I was a little disappointed because I wished I had eaten it. However, when the wild vegetable soba came out, I was happy to see that there were a lot of bamboo shoots in it. It was a light soup stock. The warabi mochi that you are looking for is a transparent mochi that is soaked in warm honey and sprinkled with soybean flour. It has a somewhat rustic taste that makes me feel strangely nostalgic. The staff at the store were kind and generous, and it was a pleasant time.
