Food in Kyoto

On our last day in Kyoto, we went to a restaurant called Ganko in Kyoto Station. (There are about 50 restaurants in Kyoto station. The place is huge, and we got lost trying to find this place numerous times!) We had a wonderful meal, and here is what we got!

(Tonkatsu (breaded and fried pork cutlet) and fried chicken)

(The mega meal! It was wonderfully presented, and included sashimi, some cooked veggies and fish, and a make your own tofu thing to the right. Basically, they light a little light under the soy milk, and you're supposed to let it boil, then add some salt solution to make it more solid. It had an interesting taste, and I thought it was ok, but it didn't taste like tofu I'm used to cooking with. The presentation was the best for this meal, and it was almost too pretty to eat!)

(Ikura donburi - salmon eggs over sushi rice. Salmon eggs are soooooo good!)

(An assortment of sushi. This is the meal I actually ordered. I had better sushi while I was in Saga, but it was delicious...can't complain!! =) )
