The Real Green Tea

Here is the real Japanese Ocha served with small pastries. (in Ginkakuji for 500 yen)

They were very dry...and inside one of them, there was something sweet and salted at the same time. It was so strange...And the tea (look at its amazing green colour !!!) was so bitter that I still needed some water after having eaten everything.

Well, I guess it was an experiment that I had to do being in Japan...! Thank you Tipi for sharing this moment with me...And thank you Arnold for the pics ;)

Cri-Cri

I just spent an unbelievable week end in Kyoto and I discovered great things. In the way to Kiyomizu dera, we bought some cookies made of rice and cinnamon. It was crispy and it is called "Yatsu Hashi" because the shape looks like a bridge...Funny isn't it ? ...

It was tasty, and it was also nice to see them make them... But I was thinking about something : it must be delicious with ice cream...(Green Tea flavour of course !).
