It takes about half an hour to get from Kyoto to Uji, so you can stay here for most of the day. It feels very pleasant and relaxing. There are many restaurants here, most of which focus on green tea. If you like green tea, don't miss this place. There are green tea ramen, ice cream, small balls, dumplings, etc., which are very special. You can't eat them anywhere else! I recommend that you go to Byodoin Omotesando when you go to Uji. It is a green tea street with different kinds of matcha shops. The most famous green tea shop is Nakamura Tokichi, whose shop faces the river and has a great view. In autumn, you can also see red leaves. 📍Address: Byodoin Omotesando, Uji #GlobalTravel

Mainly Kyoto/Uji/Osaka/Kobe/Universal food recommendations. Didn't eat in Nara. ❗️Kyoto 1️⃣Hiro Yakiniku: Mid-range, pretty good, you need to grill it yourself, don't turn the heat up too high or it'll burn, need to make a reservation in advance. 2️⃣Daiichi Asahi Ramen: Average, salty, my Chongqing taste buds really can't handle the salt. 3️⃣Fried Beef Steak Kyoto Katsugyu: Delicious, lots of branches, must order the black-haired wagyu, a bit expensive, don't order the matcha beer, it's hard to drink. 4️⃣Ichiban Yakitori: Found it randomly, but it's really good, better than Torikizoku, it's on Hachijo. 5️⃣Musashi Sushi: Good, cheap, fresh. 6️⃣Cafe Pantry Matsunosuke: The banana pancakes are amazing, the apple pie is also good, but you must order one dessert or drink per person. 7️⃣Kurisara Specialty Store: The store is on the Kamo River, the view from the window should be good, but you must order one per person, I heard it's super sweet, most people can't finish it, I just ordered an ice cream to go, it's good. 8️⃣Blue Bottle Coffee: Average, there's one in Shanghai too. 9️⃣There's a cafe at the Kujo subway station that's really good, I forgot the name. ❗️Uji 1️⃣Nakamura Tokichi Byodoin Store: You must go to the second floor, the view is good, there were too many people at the main store so I didn't line up, you must order the ice cream and matcha, it's a bit of a shame I didn't order the parfait. ❗️Kobe 1️⃣Cafe Bar Anthem: The gauze cheesecake is amazing, I still miss it after coming back, you must order one drink per person. 2️⃣Yakiniku Donburi Jyuban: It's like a rice bowl, it's good. 3️⃣Anpanman Museum: Long line, very sweet, cute shape. I didn't eat Kobe beef. ❗️Osaka 1️⃣Torikizoku: Average, the portions are a bit big, but it's also a bit more expensive than other yakitori. 2️⃣Abura Soba: It's okay, better than ramen, the way you eat it is quite unique, cheap, you can try it. 3️⃣Ninomiya Yakiniku: The beef tongue is crispy and fresh, but overall it's not as good as I imagined, and I had to line up for an hour. 4️⃣Yukari Okonomiyaki: Pretty good, of course you have to eat okonomiyaki when you come to Osaka. 5️⃣HARBS: The fruit mille-feuille is amazing, the portions are also big, but you must order one drink per person, I suggest getting it to go, it's worth it, because the price of the drinks is almost the same as the cake. ❗️Universal Studios The pizza set meal next to Jaws is cheap and good, two people can share it. Pineapple ice cream is really made from frozen pineapple, it's okay. Butterbeer tastes like caramel soda, very sweet, very sweet.

🌱 Nakamura Tokichi Byodoin Branch 🌱 Nakamura Tokichi Byodoin Branch, where I went on a pilgrimage to the main branch with Ido Kyuemon! Nakamura Tokichi is a pretty famous matcha brand with chains all over Japan, and I thought the parfait would be too heavy, so I ate a small size with matcha and hoji mixed in, and it was so delicious! The interior is divided into the 1st and 2nd floors, and it was convenient because you order by yourself! The Uji River seen from the window was also nice, and I went out to the terrace to eat, and it would be a really good place on a nice day..! If you like matcha, you should definitely go! #JapanTravel

Although Uji is not as popular as Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara as the hometown of matcha, it occupies an important position in Japanese culture. In addition to being famous for the dual world heritage sites of Byodoin Temple and Kami-Uji Shrine, the locally produced Uji green tea is also considered the best in Japan. Uji Nakamura Tokichi has two stores, a main store and a Byodoin store. On the day's itinerary, we first went to the main store to see that it would take 2 hours to draw a number plate. Then we walked along the road to the Byodoin store to have a look. At Byodoin, you can find a seat if you have one. After you have a seat, you can go and order by yourself. The Byodoin store has a panoramic view of the Uji River. Compared with the long waiting time for the number plate at the main store, it is more flexible.

👭 Cup of green tea🍵 is really strong · smooth · My daughter drank and ordered a second cup 😋😍 🧚‍♀️Other green tea🍵 ice cream🍦 and green tea dessert🍮 pastries are excellent 👍 👭After eating, you can also see the magnificent view of the Uji River · First Class River🥳😍 Warm reminder 🔔 😍 Only with patience can you drink it 🤣🤣🤣

I went to Nakamura Fujimoto to experience Ishigaki Mocha to Nakamura Fujimoto. I experienced Shih Tzu Mocha Uji City's tea shop. There were dozens of tea shops in Uji City. When I first came here, it suddenly rained and I felt a cool feeling. The plan is to go to Nakamura Fujiji, which was founded in 1854. This shop was built during the Meiji period. You can experience the use of stone shoji to match the tea, and then enjoy a snack while enjoying a cup of tea or light tea. The tea room has desserts, matcha soba noodles and more. The hot buckwheat noodles are soft and feel a bit unaccustomed. Address: Uji, Yuji City, Kyoto Prefecture

How can you not eat matcha in Uji? ! Nakamura Fujimoto shop, in the old town house building. Appearance is quite good, open the shop curtains that are almost hanging, and the original "Ming Tea Store" remains on the right side of the entrance. Old photos, tatami tea seats, blue tea farmers' overalls hanging on the wall. The entrance to the left is an old Machiya pattern, and the innermost one is dedicated to the Buddha. A large character in the middle hall: the spring breeze into everything. We ordered five matcha desserts. Three of them are packed in a green bamboo tube. This bamboo tube with a diameter of ten centimeters is usually kept in the ice bank. When you need it, take it out as a dessert appliance, not only good-looking, but also the function of keeping cold. Bamboo tube filled with bean paste, white jade (white dumplings), matcha jelly, matcha balls, full of color and flavor. This matcha Buffy is limited in the fall, hidden under the beautiful logo. There are a lot of materials hidden in the belly, there are red beans, matcha ice cream, matcha jelly, round and white jade. Although Uji in November is already cold, almost every guest has a glimpse. Another matcha fern cake is also very high in value. The softness of the fern cake is between the glutinous rice and the jelly. The matcha wrapped in the tea is very delicate, with brown sugar syrup and matcha syrup, a mouthful of non-stick teeth to the entrance, the level and taste is very rich.
