Geisha Makeover Experience

Speaking of Kyoto, there's the maiko experience!!! & the girls love it, so I'll introduce you to some delicious restaurants around Ikemen Yagiwon Aya \(^^)/

Hello everyone. The rainy season is over now, and we've been experiencing midsummer days recently. I'm worried that Takemitsu, who is sensitive to heat, will melt every day. Anyway, in this blog I'm going to continue writing about my stroll around the area around my house, Hime and Aya. There will be a lot of photos, but please bear with me. First of all, I suddenly went to lunch. This time, I went to "Yayoi Cafe" which is located very close to our shop. I've always wanted to go there, so I went for a girls' night out with my princess. Now, let's go inside. As I walked through the atmospheric corridor...oh my, how lovely!   This lovely courtyard welcomed us.   The interior of the restaurant was stylish and calm. Princess was so excited.... For lunch, Princess ordered "Ojako Pasta"... 1390 yen (tax included) It's a creamy pasta dish made with Yayoi's popular "Chirimen Sansho" (dried small sardines). This pasta comes as a set with salad, soup, and dessert. It's topped with lots of chirimen sansho (dried small sardines), and my daughter, who usually doesn't like sansho because it's spicy, raved about how delicious it was and ate it all by herself. And this corn soup was also really delicious! img style="margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; vertical-align: middle;" src="https://kyoto-maiko.com/wp-content/plugins/typepad-emoji-for-tinymce/icons/09/shine.gif" width="16" height="16">I forgot to take a picture of the salad, but it was also delicious with the baby sardines on top, but the dressing seemed a little too adult for the young princess, so my mother took over and enjoyed it. I ate a little, but there were two bite-sized desserts after the meal, which made me really excited. So, here is the lunch I ordered: The "Cold Somen and Small Jako" is only available in summer. It costs 1,030 yen (tax included) and is made with the water of life from Takemigawa. We received permission from the princess. It contains a lot of summer vegetables, and even comes with rice balls with lots of small jako. It's light and easy to eat, perfect for this hot season. Now that my stomach is full and my throat is quenched, let's move on to the next step. I passed by Aya and headed to Nene's road. It was hot that day, but Nene's road was beautiful, wasn't it? The new greenery is beautiful this time of year, and the sunlight is really nice. This place is also a good place to take photos for customers who come to experience Aya. Oh, I found a rickshaw! If you come to Kyoto, you want to try one at least once, right? The princess asked me to try one, so I got a rickshaw driver right away. Murakami-san, also known as Konawa, has a refreshing smile.MuratiI decided to press It was Takemi's first time to ride a rickshaw, so both father and son were excited. Since we didn't know anything, we were given a detailed explanation of the course and the price, and this time we chose a two-seater course for 30 minutes for 9,000 yen. Well, well, let's get going. While we were in the rickshaw, Murati said to us with a refreshing smile, "I'll call you Princess," which made our Princess very embarrassed (lol). I thought the rickshaw would be hotter, but it was cooler than I expected while we were moving and was quite comfortable. We were taken around Maruyama Park, so there was plenty of shade and the breeze was refreshing. It may have been hot depending on the route and where it was, but they provided shade so it was reassuring at this time of year. And look at this photo, isn't it awesome??? Murati, the rickshaw driver, took it for me. I wondered if he would take it as a souvenir, but I was so happy to have such a cool photo taken that I bragged about it to my family as soon as I got home. While we were riding, he told me all kinds of stories and told me all kinds of trivia that made me say "Wow!" It was so interesting and interesting. At first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but after the ride, I understood why. It costs that much, doesn't it? But it was so much fun and she said she wanted to ride it again. Takemi also had a lot of fun with the kids this time, and it was a great time to make lots of new discoveries. This was a long story, but what did you think? Are you starting to want to eat "Ojako Pasta"? Are you starting to want to ride a "rickshaw"? I'm sure you're starting to want to come to Kyoto. I'm looking forward to seeing you all. Lastly, here is one of Takemitsu's favorite photos, who is an endlessly doting parent. Isn't it cute? (lol)
