Despite what my blog may have you believe so far, we didn’t spend our entire trip in Japan eating in fancy restaurants. We spent one evening substituting sweets from 7-11 for supper, and more than once, we ate convenience store sushi perched in a parking lot for lunch.
(It was one of our better decisions.)
Here are just a few of my favorite snacks and sweets from Kyoto.
Green tea and yuzu gelato from Shinpachi Chaya in Arashiyama.
Green tea mochi with a fresh spring strawberry.
Pastry cream filled fish.
Black sesame and white miso gelato from Premarché in Kyoto.
Seaweed-covered rice triangles (which you wrap yourself, to keep the nori from getting damp!)
And so very much…
Convenience store sushi.
