Kyoto, Japan｜Somushi Kochaya

A peaceful cafe with very gentle people working. Enjoyed a slow time alone at the counter seat and lunch meal made with local produces. Cozy place to chill and read your book in a cloudy day. Food presentation is creative, because the ingredients are fresh, taste is great! The outdoor area is spacious and I know they are dog friendly (owner has cute dogs!)

Went here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a hidden gem, surrounded by nature. Lots of trees, river running, freshly picked blueberry and Shiso leaf from the garden, and locally grown veggies. Can’t beat that for the reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Delicious bibimbap, jujube tea, and hotteok with ice cream. Such a relaxing lunch next to the water sitting outside under the shade. It's a charming and adorable restaurant with delicious food.
