Traditional Kyo-ryori
When you visit Kyoto, although there are enough international restaurants, do yourself a favor and try some Kyo-ryori - regional, traditional dishes. Many Kyoto restaurants serve tofu, hamo (a white fish served with ume as sushi), vegetarian dishes and more. Kyoto is also renowned for its own style of kaiseki, the meal taken before the tea ceremony, and for its matcha(抹茶 maccha) or green tea, and matcha flavored specialties, including ice cream and snacks.
