We got hungry on our way up to Kiyomizudera and stopped for lunch at the first restaurant we spotted.
Shibazaki
Shibazaki is prized for its soba, house made tofu and unagi
The restaurant was busy on a Tuesday lunch
Cute toothpick and wooden spices container
Barley tea
They take their tofu very seriously here
Tofu and water and nothing else
Place a soft and silky piece gently into your bowl and top with condiments.
Well, what can I say... tofu IS tofu.
Tempura Soba Set
Unagi Soba Set. The grilled eel was nothing to write home about.
After eating, it's nice to check out other parts of the restaurant.
On the second floor is a mini museum displaying the owner's collection of laquerware
It is said that Shibazaki's collection is even more extensive than those of Tokyo and Kyoto
National Museums'
I am liking this black dresser set
The urinal at the men's room is pretty neat, too! Lol! :P
