With the cherry blossoms in full swing, last weekend was the perfect time to visit
Kyoto again
. Me and Miwa got the Shinkansen on friday night, and stayed till sunday. On Saturday we visited Sanzen-in in the north, but the weather was really rubbish so we cut short sightseeing and went shopping and eating instead. We went to a really cool bar with views across the river, and then to Miwa's friends' French restaurant. I had a carrot and jelly mousse that tasted like curry sauce, followed by excellant fois gras, and some grilled sea bass with baby octopus and Okinawa
baby seaweed. After that I had roast duck, while Miwa had some strange mix of various cow organs that was surprisingly nice. For dessert we had avocado, lime and caramel ice cream, and an apple chibuste (a kind of apple creme brulee for those uniformed souls out there). After eating we went to
Kiyomizudera; the temple is lit up at night, and the cherry blossoms around it were absolutely amazing (so hard to take good pictures though). Once we got back to the area where we were staying we went to an izakaya for more food
and drinks. On Sunday the weather was really nice, so we went to
Kyoto Gosho (Imperial Palace Park) for a picnic, and then up to Ginkaku-ji, and the
Tetsugaku no michi (Philosopher's Path), which was lined with Cherry Blossom trees.

You ate a mouse!?! Under normal circumstances, I`d assume that to be a typo meaning mousse, but since you were at a French restaurant, and they are renowned worldwide for eating anything, I need clarification. Was it a whipped, creamy thing or rodenty, whiskery thing?
