"Yayoi" is a popular tsukudani shop for locals. It's located in Shimogawara Street near Yasaka Shrine. From the street, the shop looks very small.
But in the back of the shop, there is a good size cafe space.
This traditional Machiya style house is called "an eel's bed" because the frontage of the house is small and the depth is very long.
I very much enjoyed the noodle with summer vegetables and chirimen-jako in sweet oil sauce. Rice balls of Chirimen-Sansho (chirimenjako and Japanese pepper) were really tasty too!
The shop's atmosphere is very calm and pleasant.
