Restaurant, Kyoto Sanjo

by Matthew Posted on March 14, 2019

I can’t remember the name of this restaurant or exactly where it was but I think it was on Kiya-machi Dori. Near this restaurant.

We liked it here and I was utterly charmed by our waitress who was of advanced years, well into her eighties by my estimation. Sadly, only one of Japan’s many poor lagers on draught.

Ogawa Coffee, Kyoto Sanjo

Ogawa Coffee, Kyoto Sanjo, Fuji Superia X-tra 400

We liked this little coffee shop – for its location on the corner of Kiya-machi Dori and Sanjo Dori and the relaxed unpretentious atmosphere.

Despite being a big chain with numerous branches dotted around the country (with a higher concentration in the Kansai region) Ogawa Coffee retains a certain charm. Staff were friendly and professional.

We opted for one of the desert sets and a latte. The coffee was ok but unremarkable as was the desert but there was nothing to complain about.

A perfect spot for some people watching or catching up with fiends, or, as in our case, ducking out of the rain for half an hour.

Train to Kyoto – Ferrania Solaris 100

by Matthew Posted on July 27, 2018

After five fun-filled and frolicsome days in Tokyo we got on the choo choo train (shinkansen) to Kyoto. The sky was overcast so we didn’t get a view of Mount Fuji. The coffee in the pitcha was terrible. Just terrible. I’m going to call it ‘train coffee’. I still drank it though. The little breaded pork sarnie was ok.

If you have a JR pass you can get the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto – all services except for the Nozomi service. We got the Hikari service from Tokyo station. Very easy.
