Kyoto Sanjokai Shopping Street is one of the largest arcades in western Japan with a total length of 800m and about 180 shops. Within walking distance from Nijo Castle and Karasuma Oike, you can enjoy dining and shopping during your sightseeing. Did you know that the birthplace of the Gion Festival, one of Kyoto's three major festivals, is located near such a shopping street?

Ohashiya, a street corner tempura specialty store, has opened an izakaya on the north side of the same building. After passing through the noren, 7 counter seats appear. Standing in front of the fryer is Takeo Wakita, the 4th generation owner, who moves smoothly and without waste to serve freshly fried tempura in front of you. In addition to tempura at night with matcha salt and tempura sauce, from 2023 it will be open for lunch only on weekdays.
Vegetables such as potatoes and onions are 100 yen, and seafood such as shrimp for 200 yen and kisses for 150 yen are excellent value for money. Various tempura 100 yen ~
A candy apple specialty store that has become popular due to the fruit candy boom in Korea has opened! As a result of trying various varieties, we adopted Sanfuji with a sugar content of 13% or more, which contains honey. What is even more noteworthy is the thinness of the candy, which is only 1.1mm, which is classified as the thinnest type in the industry. In the summer, a combination with soft cream will be released.
White chocolate 770 yen. The refreshing sweet and sour taste of Sanfuji and the faint milky feeling of white chocolate are a better match than you might imagine.
