Pickles buffet in Kyoto

"Akoya-chaya" is the one of the restraint which is located near by the  Kiyomizu-temple in Kyoto. 
I heard this restaurant is currently popular for people who are visiting Kyoto,especially for ladies!! At this restaurant, you can taste more than 25 types of pickles made from Kyoto vegetables with rice. You know,  girls always love to have the different variety of things, little by little;)


I get on the bus to the bus-stop "Kiyomizu michi" and walked about 10mins on the
 Kiyomizu michi and it was just at the corner of the same street and  "Ninen-zaka"street.

There were of course people were waiting even tho it was rainy day! Waiting time was not a big problem as long as we got food!

Ordering was very easy. You order either the set of "Green-tea" or "houji-tea" and the staff brings these empty plates and bowls in just 1.5mins!!

   

                                Can you guess what is in the bowl on the right(below)?
                     
                             Miso paste was in the middle of thin layers which is made of rice cake, as you put hot water, it melts and becomes Miso soup!  Love the ideas!!

This is the instruction for making Miso soup☆→

Ok, now get ready for the pickles buffet!!

Wow, that is a lot and unique veggy pickes!

☆perfect Vegitalian set meal☆

If you could not finish all of it, you can put the rest pickles on the rice and put some tea (it is called BUBUZUKE or OCHAZUKE)and swallow it!! 
  

With the pickles, I can enjoy the real taste of rice because of there simpleness.

It is like

Nippon (日本)BANZAI！！

Of course, sweets were waiting for us.
The sandwich of red-beans paste and white beans paste in the the dried rice cake layers.

      If you want to taste both, why don't you make Half and half like Pizza combination?

I bought the pack of pickles i liked. Personally i recommend the cucumber pickled by Shiso leaves.
