On your own and after a quick counter style Wagyu fix around lunchtime in Kyoto? Hafuu isn’t a haafu bad choice. Sorry, couldn’t help myself. The restaurant, with a focus on beef, is Yoshoku style. Yoshoku translates as ‘Western Food’ however it is in fact gloriously Japanafied […]

Evening in Kyoto town promises a certain magic. Sunsets over mountains. Paper lantern lit laneways come to life. Geiko and Maiko slow trot to appointments.   Power lines lean and whisper in the half light. Shadow and shine. Come with me – I’ll show you.  Just a few spots […]
