When I heard "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, I wondered about the difference between "hear" and "listen," both meaning "to listen." In Japanese, the difference between "聞く" and "聴く" is that "hear" is when something vaguely enters your ears, while "listen" is when you actively pay attention. Similarly, in Japanese, "見" is for casually seeing something, while "観" is for focusing on it, but when spoken, the words are the same. Today's morning started at Yamamoto Coffee, where there is a big mill at the entrance. I started my Kyoto sightseeing from here. The menu is full of tempting choices, but I chose the grilled egg sandwich set. Many people entered as soon as the store opened at 7 am. I was worried about whether they could handle the large number of customers, but they efficiently served me in about 10 minutes. There are two types of dressing, sesame and basil, in the bottles. First, I will have the sandwich. The thick tamagoyaki inside, which I have never seen in Tokyo, is impressive. The combination of the sharp taste of mustard, the flavor of mayonnaise, the texture of cucumber, and the soft bread is excellent. The coffee has a strong bitterness and aroma, which is nice. The salad with two types of dressing is enjoyable. And even potato salad is included, making it a luxurious plate. It's amazing to have such an elegant breakfast for only 900 yen. I'm curious about the morning curry and cream stew as well.

I had some early morning business in this area, so I stopped by for breakfast. It's great that they open at 7 am. I always have a hard time deciding, but end up choosing the egg sandwich. It's fluffy and warm, with just the right amount of mayonnaise. I like it. The customers are a mix of locals and tourists. I hope this cafe continues to thrive for a long time.

The other day, I was meeting someone at a cafe in Kyoto and they messaged me on LINE saying they would be late. So, I woke up early for the meeting and didn't have breakfast, so I went to Yamamoto Kissa for my favorite pudding♡ I saw everyone enjoying the popular pudding and egg sandwich. Thank you for the delicious meal✨ #KyotoCafe #Kyoto #HigashiyamaCafe #PuddingLover #PuddingTour #KyotoSweets

Bullet train to Kyoto. I have a reservation at a main tea kaiseki restaurant, but the restaurants before and after that are unplanned (;´д｀). In times like this... I put out a survey to the YouTube community and decided on two top-rated restaurants. ・Yamamoto Coffee Shop. It is a famous shop for its tamago (egg) sandwich, so I planned to have that with a drink. It opens at 7 o'clock, but alcohol is served from 11 o'clock, so we went there accordingly. There are counter seats on the left and tables on the right. The exterior looks like a vintage shop, but the interior is stylish in a similar way. We were told to sit wherever we liked, so after getting permission for filming, we took a table seat. ・Tamago (egg) sandwich (single item). ・Bottled beer (small bottle). Looking around, most of the customers were locals. The age group was on the older side, and a quiet time passed by. First, the beer. It was lively in my throat as it was my first alcohol in 3 days. Next was the tamago sandwich. Cut into 4 pieces and served on a flat plate. When I tried it... both the bread and the egg were very soft. The flavor of karashi mayonnaise and salted butter stands out. The crunch of the cucumber is a nice accent. It has a strong flavor, so it goes well with beer. Additionally... ・Bottled beer (small bottle). ・Pudding (single item). The set is more cost-effective, but there is no set that goes well with alcohol (bitter smile). I enjoyed the tamago sandwich with an additional beer and started on the pudding. It's more on the firm side. The pudding itself has a light sweetness, and the bitterness of the caramel stands out. I thought about staying a bit longer, but the place got busy with customers, so I checked out here. Overall... If you order a set instead of individual items, it's a reasonably priced restaurant. The taste is not particularly outstanding, but it had a heartwarming feel to it.

⭐️I randomly stopped by and found a really delicious coffee shop! Even as a local in Nagoya, I highly recommend trying their red bean toast!⭐️It's very rare that they open from 7 am, especially on Sundays.⭐️When I visited, the place was almost full with a good turnover of seats, showing how rooted this coffee shop is in the community! 【Order】Morning Set 7 am-11 am ● Grilled Egg Sandwich Set 900 yen Iced Coffee The fluffy egg, mustard mayo, and cucumber in the sandwich were really delicious. I bet this is a popular choice. ● Red Bean Toast Set 900 yen Choice of vanilla ice cream or salad I chose salad! With basil, sesame dressing, and salt!

I would love to visit this coffee shop again. They encourage Instagram but it's best to avoid pointing your camera at the staff behind the counter. Enjoy your meal everyone! (^^)!

First Visit 202305 (No.4517) 1. Purpose of Visit I planned to visit this cafe aiming for their popular morning set, but due to the unseasonably hot weather the day before, I had no appetite at all... (>_<) Since this cafe was on the route to the next place I was going, I decided to go ahead with the visit. 2. Shop Information - Genre on Tabelog: Cafe - A popular cafe known for their "egg sandwich" and other morning sets - Business Hours: 07:00-17:00 - Closed on Tuesdays - Seating capacity: 30 seats ⚠️ PC use not allowed in the shop 3. Crowdedness and Atmosphere on the Day of Visit - Visited around 10:15 am on a weekday with 3 customers already inside and no customers behind me - The retro Showa-era interior provided a nice view of the fresh greenery outside ♡ 4. Customer Service - Service was as per the manual 5. Order - I ordered: - Iced Cafe au Lait (600 yen) Since Cream Soda was Lemon Squash, I was expecting a nice retro vibe, but I had already booked a Chinese course for lunch and with my current condition, I couldn't even think about consuming a small amount of sweetness. So, I ended up ordering the above item~ (;´∀｀) The drink arrived in about 2 minutes and it was just delicious. If I have the chance, I would like to revisit this cafe when I'm feeling better to try their morning set! Thank you for the meal.

I tried the "Parfait Shake" at JR Nagoya Takashimaya, which was a collaboration with Kyoto Kinana. It cost 1100 yen. It was a kinako shake with crushed coffee beans, topped with their famous coffee jelly. The combination of Kinana's quality Japanese sweets with the coffee from this store was great! It also had sweet potato paste and pound cake on top. The coffee added a nice touch of bitterness to the sweetness. It was delicious. Collaborations like this are really nice.

I visited a shop I had been to before. This time, I visited on a Saturday afternoon. - Shop atmosphere: I arrived at 8:15 am on Saturday morning. There were already many customers, and most of the seats were already taken. I noticed that not only domestic tourists but also foreign visitors were dining at the shop. - Menu: They offer a morning menu from 7:00 to 11:00, including dishes like baked egg sandwich, red bean toast, curry set, and cream stew set. I was intrigued by the latter two options as I hadn't seen them before. - Red bean toast set (900 yen): I ordered this dish that I had been eyeing. You can choose between salad and vanilla ice cream as a side. The dish consists of 3 slices of toast topped with red bean paste, vanilla ice cream at the back, and three sticks of cinnamon-flavored Yatsuhashi on the side. The bread is light in texture but rich in wheat aroma. The butter and sweet red bean paste blend perfectly. The combination of cinnamon and vanilla ice cream was surprisingly good and intriguing. The set drink was a hot café au lait, which you can order for an additional 50 yen. It is light in appearance and taste, but you can fully enjoy the flavor of the beans. It is recommended even for those who don't like coffee. The shop offers a charming appearance and serves Kyoto-style meals like baked egg sandwich and Yatsuhashi. If you visit Kyoto, be sure to check it out.

Located between Sanjo and Shijo on the east side of the Keihan Main Line, this cozy little café is a perfect place to stop by when traveling alone. It's about a 10-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station and Sanjo Station. Tucked away a bit from the main street, it sits right by a small stream, creating a quiet and serene atmosphere. The café is filled with the delightful smell of toast and butter, adding to its charm. Inside, there are magazines and reading glasses available. I ordered the anko toast set upon entering, and it arrived in about 10 minutes. The anko toast was just as flavorful as the smell of butter and toast when I entered. The dessert that came with the set, vanilla ice cream, was also delicious, with a rich vanilla bean aroma. Eating it with Kyoto's traditional Yatsuhashi was a great combination. And to accompany it all, a strong cup of hot coffee. Although the portion size wasn't huge, it was a satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

This place has been on my radar for a while, and I visited on a holiday morning. - Shop Appearance: Located 8 minutes on foot from Keihan Sanjo Station on the Tozai Line, on the west side of the Chion-in intersection. As you head south on Higashioji Street and approach Shirakawa, you'll see a lively brick building on your right. The yellow and white terrace, green and white walls give a bright and pop impression. There is a round signboard with the store name logo under the terrace. I arrived around 9:30 am, luckily there was no line and I could enter smoothly. The interior has 4 counter seats on the left and 26 table seats on the right side towards the back. The shop was about half full, with some empty seats still available. I sat at a 2-person table just behind the counter. - Menu: In addition to the morning set, there are drink and dessert menus. Famous items include cream soda and pudding. I ordered the baked tamago sandwich set that I had decided on beforehand. - Baked Tamago Sandwich Set (850 yen): I chose hot coffee as my drink. It was brought to me a few minutes after ordering. The large plate had 4 triangular sandwiches, a mountain of cabbage and tomato, and potato salad in the back. The sandwiches contained thick rolled egg and thinly sliced cucumber. When I took a bite, I could taste the dashi aroma and a spicy kick. It seems that mustard mayonnaise was spread inside the bread. The fluffy texture of the egg and the rich mayonnaise were addictive. The salad can be seasoned with the provided dressing or salt. I used salt, and the sweetness of the vegetables was delightful. - Blend Coffee: Strong bitterness over acidity. It has a deep flavor that would go well with rich dishes or sweets. The shop had a bright and healthy atmosphere. I was very satisfied as I could immerse myself in a refreshing mood from the morning. I'm interested in trying the anko toast set next time.

Yamamoto Coffee Shop is located a 6-8 minute walk from Higashiyama Station. It opens at 7 am and is a popular spot for those looking to have a morning meal. By 9 am, it's usually packed with customers. They offer generous sandwich sets at reasonable prices, perfect for those who want a hearty breakfast. I tried the Egg Sandwich Set this time. It's a classic sandwich with a thick omelette, mustard, and mayonnaise sandwiched between slices of bread. The fluffy texture of the egg, the tanginess of the mayonnaise, and the sweetness of the bread all combined perfectly for a delicious taste! This popular coffee shop is also open on Sundays, so be sure to visit. Thank you for the meal!

Located a 5-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station in Kyoto, the popular café "Yamamoto Coffee" was not too crowded when I arrived around 8 a.m., with only about 2 groups of customers. By 9 a.m., it was almost full. I ordered the popular menu item, the "Grilled Egg Sandwich Set" for 850 yen. The sandwich was shaped like a triangle and filled with a generous amount of egg and a nice kick of mustard mayonnaise. It was a delightful morning treat, enjoying it with a hot coffee on a winter day! [Gourmet Account] Follow me on Instagram @nozawayuta and TikTok @yuuta0104gurume. I would appreciate it if you could also follow me there. 😊

I had a baked egg sandwich and a pudding sandwich with a cafe au lait. The cafe au lait had a gentle flavor with a strong milk taste. The egg sandwich was fluffy and the egg was cooked perfectly. The salad dressings were both very delicious. The atmosphere was nostalgic and pleasant. The pudding was firm and a bit sweet, reminiscent of the Showa era. It was all very satisfying. A great place to have breakfast.

Thursday 7:04 I have posted a review of Yamamoto Coffee on YouTube. Search for "mog and mog" to find it. No other customers were there. This cafe has an old-fashioned atmosphere. I ordered the grilled egg sandwich set for 850 yen with a hot coffee. I planned to visit as soon as they opened, but I was a little late because I was taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of Shirakawa. I ordered my coffee at 7:15 and it arrived at 7:16. They asked if I wanted milk in my coffee and there was sugar on the table. More customers came in later, and the place became lively. Friday 7:04 I revisited the cafe. I ordered the red bean toast set for 850 yen with tea. I had the option of salad or ice cream with the toast, so even though it's not summer, I chose ice cream. It made me feel like a kid again. Thank you for the meal.

There is an old-fashioned café with a nostalgic atmosphere where regular customers gather from the morning. Even though it has the vibe of a traditional café, there are also foreign decorations displayed, and some of the staff wear cute little hats like elves, giving it a unique and exciting feel. The Morning Set with egg sandwich (including a drink) for 850 yen is adorable and easy to eat. The mustard adds a nice kick to the egg. The hot coffee made my taste buds dance, so I waited for it to cool down a bit before enjoying it. It was really delicious. The Morning Set includes a drink with every menu item. From standard toast to curry or the daily stew, all the options were tempting and I had a hard time choosing. I'll definitely go back. For tourists, taking a walk along the river to the café is also enjoyable.

After enjoying some onigiri on a bench near Heian Shrine, we walked back to Gion. During the walk, my husband kept complaining, saying he was still hungry and wouldn't last until dinner. Surprisingly, he agreed to stop at a cafe for a coffee, even though he usually doesn't snack. We found a cafe that I had bookmarked for their morning service, and managed to get a table for two despite the autumn crowd. I wanted to have pudding, but it seemed we had to order a drink as well. So, I also ordered an iced cafe au lait. My husband, after some contemplation, decided on the "red bean toast set." I tried to dissuade him, but he was adamant. When the order arrived, both of us were surprised by the generous portions. My husband, who rarely eats sweets, struggled to finish the toast set, which came with ice cream and three pieces of baked yokan, while I enjoyed my pudding and coffee. Although his stomach was now full, my husband regretted overeating as we still had three hours until dinner. The food at the cafe seemed more like a lunch portion than a snack. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

Oh, it's been a while since I wrote a review. I was busy with work, not hospitalized due to COVID-19. I've already received my 5th vaccine dose (Omicron variant) and also got the flu shot. Feeling super energetic. Went to Kyoto with S-chan and had breakfast at Yamamoto Coffee. The place was lively and cozy. We had a Tamago Sandwich Set for S-chan and a Cream Stew Set for me, with a cup of hot coffee. Everything was delicious, a top-notch cafe experience. After that, we visited Dai-Toku-Ji Temple for my mother's memorial and then went to Kiyomizu Temple. It was a fun day. I'd love to visit Yamamoto Coffee again. So relaxing. Purrr~.

Kyoto, the ancient capital, is known for its traditional Japanese cuisine, but it also has many famous cafes with high bread consumption. This shop, located along the river near Gion, is a place I often visit for breakfast. It has been a while since I last had lunch here. Kyoto's egg sandwich has a gentle and fluffy taste, similar to a rolled omelette, with thick layers of egg. This shop also serves this type of delicious menu without a doubt. When looking at the menu, I noticed "Kusoso" - Cream Soda. It reminded me of the "Kusoso" (Kuririn) from the Knights, making me laugh.

■Shop Information When in Kyoto, I always feel like having a morning meal. Today, I visited Yamamoto Coffee Shop. The calm atmosphere and the fact that it's a bit far from the touristy areas make it less crowded, which is nice. I ordered their famous grilled egg sandwich set today. ■Menu - Grilled Egg Sandwich Set (with a drink) ¥850 I was served in about 15 minutes after being seated. The fluffy bread with a thick grilled egg was delicious. The spicy mayonnaise was a nice touch. The coffee that accompanied it was also delicious with a good balance of acidity and bitterness. The day starting from here is sure to be a good one. I highly recommend their morning set.
