Kyoto, Japan｜春日乃茶屋

August 5, 2023 A teahouse in the precincts of Oharano Shrine. As you know, "Koisawa Pond" imitates "Sarusawa Pond" of Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara. And there is also "Wakamiya Shrine" across the street... Take a break at the teahouse while looking at this view✌️ Originally, I would like to go with the famous mugwort dumpling, but the heat is dangerous today as well😲 Sorry, cheap iced coffee. I spent the most time looking at the garden. Before long, chatting with the lady at the teahouse begins. He taught me a lot about discipline and etiquette for young worshipers, the highlights and treasures of nearby temples, and their reputations. And at the end, I received a service of well-chilled "Mugwort tea". It tastes like mugwort, and it's used not only for rice cakes, but also for moxibustion, and for disinfecting wounds.

The scenery, atmosphere and taste are good, and it is a perfect place to take a rest. The shopkeeper is a nice person and you can relax while chatting. And the famous mugwort dumpling was the best dish that was pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the taste. The surface of the mochi has a Japanese pattern, and it seems to be a Kyoto tradition. The taste is delicious with an exquisite balance of salt that enhances the taste of the bean paste.

Delicious zenzai and mitarashi dango. Next time I want to eat mugwort dumplings.
