After finishing up yesterday at the bamboo grove we spent the remainder of the evening wandering around downtown Kyoto which is a maze of small streets and alleyways, very cool. We popped into one of the fancy hotels just before happy hour ended – champagne time! Afterwards, we opted for pizza of all things for dinner which was crazy expensive but tasty, back to local food from now on 😊
So today, lots more temples – weather has been perfect, a tasty average of 23C every day 😎
We also wandered around the Gion district of Kyoto which is the oldest part, lots of quaint buildings and shrines.
So dinner time rolls around……
If you told someone you were going to take a 50 mile train journey, for a burger, they’d probably think you’re a tad daft. But this of course is no normal burger, this is where Western meets Japanese food, fusion, don’t you know 😉
Kobe is famous throughout the world for its beef and Wanto burger, is apparently the best place for a burger made with Kobe beef, so it’s a no-brainer, we take the trip out for dinner. Of course the Shinkansen can do the journey in less than 20 minutes.
We arrived later than planned into Kobe so we pretty much headed straight for our burger.
The place was quiet and looks like an American diner, the service friendly and helpful – but that’s just normal for Japan. So how was the burger – ok – not worth the trip, but I’m sure I’ve had a worse burger, I just need time to think about it 😕 – the price, I’d rather not say 🤐
