And please try these Kyoto pickled vegetables!

Kyoto pickled vegetables have an excellent reputation in Japan.

They're so good!

"Kyoto-Vegetables" are local harvest.

They are very popular among many people in Japan.

I found a nice restaurant, named "Mochitsuki-ya".

Please look at these dishes.

These are very look like real dishes,but they're not.

They're imitations!

In Japan,imitation dishes are often displayed in front of the shop,

They're like "menu". We can easily understand what kind of dishes we can eat in this restaurant.

This is appetizing...

These are yummy...
These are toasted rice cake,
covered with sweetend yellow soy bean flour,dried laver,
adzuki beans,and soybean paste.
Please try them.
