Dinner in Kyoto

After settling in at the hostel, the next order of business was finding a place to eat.

I do have priorities you know!

I went to the room next door and met two more backpackers who were also hungry. On the way out the door, we picked up one more for a total of four. Makes it easier to get a table lah.

Anyway, we wound up in Kyoto's Terimachi Arcade at a beer hall called Ichiba Coji. There's also one of these in the Kyoto Station building. Look at how this place is designed. Definitely does not scream "beer hall". I thought it was a "Kyoto cuisine" place.

Very design-y. And inbetween the bricks on the floor, there's water and goldfish

The food didn't seem very much in the "beer hall" vein either.

Wah! So nice! This is bar food??

So nice, ne? Momo and Yukiko

We also ordered some bibimbhap and some grilled beef with sauce.

You figure out which dish this is!!

Naturally at the end of a good meal, it's time for camwhoring!

One of these people is NOT from the hostel but from the restaurant (our waitress). CHOOSE!

Four full and slightly tipsy backpackers, ready for more!

I found out after the fact that they also have a "free flow drinks" option where you pay Y1200 and for 90 minutes, you get all the booze you can drink. I'm sure there's SOME limits, but I would have liked to try that!

Come on in!
