Day 4- Our day started with lunch, at a soba shop near Yakushiji temple. The beautiful garden which we could see from the room we were eating in.
Kitsune udon set and tenzaru soba. Eating cold soba in cold weather is like eating ice-cream in cold weather: shiok!!!
On to Yakushiji.
I like this temple. It has an aura of calm and wisdom.
We gladly took refuge from the cold (freakishly cold today) in the teahouse just outside Yakushiji. I was introduced to Higashi 乾菓子, a dry type of wagashi. It tastes like shortbread without butter, and it melts into a sweet gooey mess in your mouth. Not the best texture in the world, but tolerable. Thank god for the matcha...
Dinner at Chef's parent's place, Okasan's cooking: Oden and wagyu tataki. It's wonder-wonderfully delicious...
Thanks you very much for the beautiful dinner. I hope to come again, and many many times after! =D
End.
