There are many types of food to explore in Kyoto and we love all of it. We had the gift of time, which allowed us to scope out many restaurants and make reservations for later dates.

It was better than a street food tour! Finally, we have our list of sweet treats in Hanoi! General rules: The more rustic your seating and the chef's tools, the better the food will be. This means you'll need to sit on the sidewalk on little plastic stools at little plast
