Traditional Japanese Dinner

This amazing Japanese restaurant was in walking distance of the hotel. I took lots of photographs so that I could share; enjoy. :)

Garden at the entrance of the restaurant.

The meal started with this small sweet treat and green tea in a separate area where a woman was playing a koto (i.e., a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument). We then moved to the gion.

Inside the restaurant. Our table was located upstairs.


Area where we took off our shoes.


1st course: the green thing in the bowl is actually fish and the noodles in the bowl were made out of fish.

2nd course: sashimi.

3rd course: egg, spinach, and bamboo.

4th course.

4th course: fish and eggplant.

5th course: peppers and battered shrimp balls.

6th course: rice with some strange sticky sauce (the only thing I didn't care for) and miso soup.

7th course: mango.

Me and our waitress.
