Indian feast in Kyoto

The plan was to go to a vegan ramen place, which Purva had found after a lot of research. This was after her first choice, a restaurant called Kichi Kichi Omurice, had said it would be closed on our dates. But then, when we reached the vegan ramen place, we found out that it was reservation-only for the evening, which was weird because we had tried to reserve it earlier and they had said they don’t take reservations in advance. Purva was bummed. After trying and calling a few other Japanese restaurants in vain, we decided to go to an Indian place called Chander Marutamachi, which was happy to give us a table for nine on short notice. We ordered generously. The food was pretty good and most of the group was just relieved to taste some good Indian food after many days. Shashank and Sadhvi joined us and we shared our travel stories of Japan and what we had and had not liked so far. We took a very crowded bus back to the hotel after dinner.Read more
