There are many different Tsujiris in Japan so it can get confusing, but the Tsujiri in this post (http://www.giontsujiri.co.jp/saryo/store/kyoto_gion/) is not the same one in Singapore (http://tsujiri-global.com/), as another comment by JC has pointed out.

The Tsujiri found in Singapore has all of 3 Japanese stores in Kitakyushu.

Another blog I found (http://whereisfatboy.blogspot.sg/2015/04/kyoto-tsujiri-honten-gion.html) featured 2 Tsujiris so it’s highly likely there are many other Tsujiris all over Japan.

Hope you can fix this error. Great list though!

Kyo Hayashiya is now on the 6th floor, to get there, Go to Shijo Station, Use Exit 1, Turn left and cross the bridge that’s over a little river. You will see a Lawson Mart, keep walking straight and after some vending machines you will see an elevator with “Takase B.L.D” over it. It is on the left of ARROW TREE which replaced pronto/sujata

The directions to Gion Kinana are a bit wrong. You actually turn LEFT into the small laneway after taking the second right off Hanamijoji-dori.

Gion Kinana will be on your right. There’s no English signage though, so look for the ??? or ????? signage on their curtains (or a small sign showing their opening hours of 11:00am to 7:00pm.

There is so much great food in Kyoto. I love the regional specific food especially. I’ve never seen so much matcha inspired food before. I’m also a big fan of the focus on seasonality and freshness.

Sorry, I don’t think that Gion Tsujiri is the same as Taiwan and Singapore. What you had in Taiwan and Singapore is Kokura Tsujiri which was established in Fukuoka (https://www.facebook.com/kokura.tsujiri). Here is the website of Gion Tsujiri, http://www.giontsujiri.co.jp/. You can notice that the logos used are different. Also I tried both places, Gion Tsujiri is definitely way better. Quality very different. You need to try this and see for yourself. They have branches in Tokyo too. Hope you can fix this error.

Thanks for the tips. Leaving in less than 1 week and adding a couple of these to my itinerary. Would you have any recommendations for restaurants?

Radiation is not a concern unless you go to the seaside of Fukushima and its adjacent prefectures or close to the exclusion area. Due the fact that most of Japan is below 1000 meters above sea level the natural gamma radiation levels are lower than in most mountain countries. If you go to western Japan you have absolutely nothing to worry except overspending. I am looking forward to enjoy again New Year’s celebrations in Kyoto.

Nice list! Now I can bookmark this for the trip. But slight concern, does the radiation issue affects your decision when you plan for the Japan trip?
