Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

00: 20 Train to Saga Arashiyama - The Arashiyama area is home to some of the most famous attractions in Kyoto, and so we took the train there in the morning. Unfortunately it was a very rainy day, so instead of going straight to the temple we instead decided to have lunch to see if the rain would clear. 1: 38 Kyoarashiyama Ine ( ) - This is a very famous restaurant in this area of Kyoto, and I think they specialize mainly in tofu and most of what they serve is even vegetarian Japanese food - with the exception of some eggs I think. I ordered the, Nonomiya Set, which cost 1, 950 JPY (16. 22. It included all sorts of different Japanese vegetarian dishes including all sorts of tofu and the famous yuba, Japanese tofu skin. I did enjoy the entire Japanese vegetarian tofu meal, but all the food was a little on the plain side for me. However, it was still very nice, the presentation was beautiful, and the quality was outstanding. 8: 43 Tenryu-ji Temple - 500 JPY (4. 16) - After our Japanese tofu lunch we continued on to the Tenryu-ji Temple, and it was still raining, but not nearly as hard as before. The temple is known for having one of the oldest Japanese gardens, and so thats what I was really interested in seeing. It was quite beautiful. 9: 47 Path of Bamboo - Located in Arashiyama, near the Tenryu-ji Temple is one of the most picturesque places and attractions in all of Kyoto, the Path of Bamboo - its a pathway that leads through a bamboo forest. The scene is quite beautiful, and definitely a good place to take some photos and enjoy nature. 11: 29 Kinkaku-ji Temple - One of the final things we wanted to do in Kyoto on this day was visit the Kinkaku-ji Temple, and so we took a series of buses to get there, which all worked out smoothly. The Kinkaku-ji Temple was incredibly busy, so it wasnt nearly as nice as it could have been had it been quiet and peaceful. 14: 10 Japanese Supermarket Dinner - Finally for dinner, we headed back to our area of Kyoto, and we stopped by at a supermarket and bought some things to eat back at home. Its fun to eat at restaurants, but its also really fun to buy food from a Japanese supermarket and eat it as well - there are so many good things to eat. Day 9 in Japan, where we did some attraction sightseeing in Kyoto, and also did some eating

I thought from the title of the video that you had gone to a real tofu restaurant. You should try and check one out if you can. they're expensive but they're amazing. I am a carnivore. but trust me. the best food I've ever tasted in Japan was a tofu restaurant where every dish contains tofu cooked in different ways from starter to main to dessert. When my wife told me my in-laws were taking me to a tofu restaurant, my heart sank. I was like NOOOO take me for Korean bbq, sukiyaki, sushi, crab nabe, izakaya. anything but a tofu restaurant. but wow. massive convert.

I am amazed that someone can dislike a video such as this. Thank you Mark for sharing these. I stumbled across this by accident looking for other food videos. I love to eat and try new foods. I will try most any food. Some of the meals you are showing are amazing I live in a rural area with not much access to fresh ingredients although it is getting better.

Mark you're turning Japanese, you almost said prain side at 8: 36 quickly correcting yourself. Really enjoying you vlogs so far. Going back home to Japan for a visit, and your videos remind me of what food I'm missing living in the UK. You've inspired me to get a bigger memory card for my camera to perhaps start recording my travels to share on utube. Keep up the fine work

Great video Mark, as usual. Just for your information, the jelly-like sweet you ate would have been made with agar-agar and the brown powder would have been kinako - made with roasted soy bean flour. The tofu dishes would have been very healthy, but perhaps a bit bland, compared with the Thai dishes you are used to. Too bad about the weather.

Very good your videosHopefully and make them more complete sharing your schedules to make the visits as you do them. And in some places where you eat you do not say the costs as if you do it in the entrances. Thanks for such good advice and here we areLets travel the worldThis year its going to be Asia and so this FEB 2017 I'm going to Japan

What really attracts me to Marks Videos is his positiveness and appreciation for food and life in general. It does make me happy to see him smiling and making the best out of his opportunities as a human being, creating such an adorable lifestyle. I love food in the same way and i also express it when i am eating and travelling: )

To take a dish on the rice in Japan looks ill-mannered. But a democratic store is no problem. The long chopsticks used at the last way are SAIBASHI. When dealing the case when I cook and a dish out, that's something to use. Thank you very much for your wonderful movie. From Japan, good luck, I'm hoping.
