She works so we don't get to hang out too often.
I've been wanting to try Awomb.
They have several shops scattered around Kyoto.
This particular shop takes reservations, the others don't.
The lunch at this shop serves only one thing teaezushi which means literally means hand dressed sushi.
From the various dishes you take toppings like fish, veggies and condiments like wasabi, jelled shoyu, place everything on sushi rice and eat it with thinly sliced egg that is colored green with matcha.
Add some dashi from the dobbinmushi (earthen teapot) to change things to a chazuke.
It was fun eating all the different things, making different combos.
At 2970 yen (tax included) it isn't somewhere you would go everyday, but it is a nice place when you want to bring friends/family from out of town or for a special occasion.

Strong like tuberose.
After the projectile warabi mochi...I am a bit traumatized, so I ordered their uji matcha kintoki shaved ice.
Too bad I cut off the top of the shaved ice in the shot...you could've seen some of the gold leaf flakes they had sprinkled!
It also had some soft mochi and sweet bean paste on the bottom.
There was also some sweetened matcha syrup and if that wasn't sweet enough, you could use the clear syrup that they also served.
1st shaved ice for the year...
I purchased two of these sakura manju by Taneya.
It was a nice sunny and semi-warm day.
I hope Kazumi had a nice time.
It was nice to spend some time with her and to be out and about.
