🥨Dining Review:
During my trip to Kyoto, I planned a visit to Nanzenji Temple. The temple itself is tranquil and beautifully quaint. Afterward, we decided to walk to the nearby "Daili Tei" for lunch. It was a perfect decision!

We ordered the Kuroge Wagyu lunch set (approximately ¥3,500-¥5,000). The beef was perfectly marinated and melted in our mouths. The sides and soup were exquisite, and the portions were generous. We were completely satisfied. Compared to dinner sets, which can easily cost over ten thousand yen, lunch offers the same high-quality ingredients and atmosphere for a third of the price. It's a real bargain!

The restaurant's Japanese garden evokes the feeling of being in a tranquil Japanese villa, and the large windows offer a relaxing view while dining and enjoying the scenery. Even those who don't speak Japanese needn't worry. English menus are available, and the friendly staff are all good, with basic English communication readily available. They also accept credit cards, making them very tourist-friendly. 🔥🔥
