Got friends recommendation list and found this lovely brekkie place in Kyoto. They have 2 locations however we both preferred the original shop which is just 20min away from Kawaramachi 四条area bus plus walking. They serve traditional Japanese brekkie with a modern twist, offering various set menu to taste 3 to 7 different appetitizers plus grilled fish, muso soup, steamed rice and some menu offers 2pcs sashimi of the day as well. Must try the steamed rice with seared corn chunks on top. You may pair your brekkie with beer if you wish. We came back for 2 times. Finish your brekkie with your daily coffee dose from Walden Woods Coffee which is only 1 min away Lorimer Kyoto #kyoto #breakfast #japanese #miss #sashimi #lorimerkyoto #waldenwoodscoffee

This environment is very cozy with two floors and an open place in front of the kitchen, where enjoy a window view of the restaurant garden. Shoyu flavor is recommended. What amazes me is the sesame tofu and the egg side dish. It’s also a convenient restaurant with a Money exchange machine inside. Waiters speak English, which is good for tourists that don’t speak Japanese. The side dishes were all very visually pleasing, colourful, and tasty with a light refreshing taste. The miso soup has lots of veggies inside and the salted kelp on the rice was delicious, I highly recommend coming here to try a delicious Japanese breakfast. #japantrip #kyoto #deliciousfood
