Wagashi and matcha by Krista Bo Bista on Flickr.
Had these at a teahouse in Hama-rikyu gardens. The wagashi is very sweet, the matcha is very bitter. You eat the wagashi first and then drink the matcha. They really compliment each other!
京都 KYOTO: Tofu restaurant Ume no Hana

my favorite Japanese restaurant :)
All tables of this restaurant are small Japanese style parlors. The dishes are very tasty and beautiful. You will feel that the price is a little expensive, but I believe it is worthy more than the price (after the meal, maybe you will agree me).

An okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake that roughly translates to “what you like” (okonomi)and “grilled” or “cooked”(yaki). As such, it can contain a variety of seafood, meat, and different vegetables and cooked in a teppanor hot plate. In the Gion restaurant, the okonomiyaki it serves is called Issen Yoshoku (which is also the name of the restaurant)—yoshoku for ‘Western food’ (Western because the batter used is made of wheat flour) and sen because it used to cost about 1 US cent.
