Japan Trip: Chojiro Sushi, Kyoto

My next stop in Kyoto was in the famous region in Kyoto, name Gion. Gion is like the most ‘tourist’ place in Kyoto. Many souvenir shops can be found alongside Gion-Shijo, from foods, cat statues, snacks, fan, iphone case, and many more.

It was already lunch time, and we felt so hungry. My travel partner decided to open tripadvisor application in his phone and looked for a recommended and affordable place for lunch nearby. It showed us a sushi restaurant, named Chojiro. Since our stomach was so Indonesian, so we felt hungry 2 hours later than the Japanese. So when we came to the restaurant, they were quite empty.

The food order method was new to us, we could choose our food through iPad, and our order automatically sent to the chef. If we only drink hot ocha, they already provided the glass, hot tap water, and green tea powder. So we could adjust the taste of the ocha and drink as much as we wanted.

We ordered the sushi lunch set. It already complete with 9 different sushi, chawanmushi and enoki mushroom. We also ordered tuna nigiri sushi and premium sashimi set. The taste of its Tuna sashimi was amazing, so fresh like jelly.

Our dishes cost us around 2000 yen, and it accept credit card as well. For me the price was worth the taste. So fresh and yummy.
