JP2012 - Marugame Seimen

Marugame Seimen is an extremely cheap and popular noodle bar in Kyoto’s bustling Kawaramachi-Sanjo area.

 

 

For just 500 yen, one could get a bowl of steaming hot or freezing cold udon.

 

 

And the best part of it is that all udon are made fresh on site!!

 

 

After joining the queue, one would order the type of udon and the associated size.

 

 

Then, choose any additional topping or side dishes …

 

 

… before paying at the counter.

 

 

With such a system in place, you get to choose what you want and what you don’t want to eat. So, you can get a simple miso udon or try something fancy and go all out with the side dishes.

 

 

In just you wonder how popular they are, Marugame Seimen has over 600 stores across Japan!!

JP2012 - Musashi Sushi

Musashi Sushi offers a traditional Japanese kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi or sushi train) experience at a low fixed price.

 

 

Generally, everything is 137 Yen!!

 

 

While I have ordered the more common dishes, for those who are more adventurous, they can try bashashi, which means horse meat. And in case you are wondering which dish is that, bashashi is used as a topping for Musashi’s sakura sushi.
