My schedule was very occupied so could not have “ Rikyu bento”. Instead of meal, I decided to get their speciality white miso paste. My mama came to here often when she was University student. Which was about 50 years ago. So I am the second generation who comes to here. About 10 years ago I asked manager lady if I could purchased a pair of bamboo chopsticks which they severed for our lunch. The lady looks bit grumpy and gave them to me free without saying anything. And she is still working in here now just like 10 years ago which made me smile. I still have those chopsticks at home in Australia. Their meal is simple. No decoration but after getting rid of decoration, you could taste its real ingredients so well, Easy to digest and very matched with my stomach,I can feel my body is welcoming their meal. And one more thing, they don’t have any English signboard outside of the restaurant. Which means they don’t flatter tourism. Which is punk and so cool. That is the another reason why I love them so much. I am very looking forward to see the manager lady in the Shirukou again in the future.

Stunning Kyoto home made cuisine. Taste is quite natural so if you like light taste cuisine, this is the right place for you. The miso soup is distinctly different from others. Love it.
