2日目のランチは四条烏丸の大丸からほど近いDivo Divaという店に入った。僕は蒸し煮された金目鯛の上に薄切りのズッキーニをあしらったランチ、連れ合いはエビ・貝のトマトクリームソース・パスタを注文した。前菜もそうなのだが、旨味をちゃんと持ちながら決して突出することのないうす味の極地のような味付けに、これはイタリア料理と言っても京都基準の味だとつくづく思う。
満足な食事の後は錦小路をぶらついて、押し寿司、だし巻き卵、丹波の栗などを土産に買って帰路についた。
For the second day’s lunch in Kyoto, we went to an Italian restaurant near Daimaru department store at Shijo-Karasuma. I ordered steamed alfonsino topped with very thin slices of zucchini and my partner ordered shrimp and shellfish pasta with tomato cream source. Divo Diva definitely offers Italian but precisely speaking I thought its taste actually falls under Kyoto criteria; “the ultimate delicacy of subtlety and sophistication” where the dishes surely integrate the tasty essence but none of elements never stick out. After the happy lunch, we strolled the arcade of Nishiki-koji and bought some square sushi, rolled eggs with stock and chestnuts of Tanba for souvenirs, and took the return train home.

京都・セントノーム - Centnovum in Kyoto
京都に来ています。京都駅八条口から東にちょっと外れたところにセントノームというホテルがあって、あまり流行っていない様子なのですが、ガイドブックで目星をつけた山水という和食レストランで昼膳を食べました。量は少なめのランチセットですが、天ぷらの揚げ方がとてつもなく本格的で、刺身のわさびとか味噌汁や豆腐まで、一品一品の質が高く、税別1500円というのはとても満足でした。
I am in Kyoto now. Hotel Centnovum in a few minutes’ walking distance to the east from Hachijo exit of Kyoto Station did not look busy at all, but I picked its Japanese restaurant, Sansui, from the guidebook and had lunch there. The assorted set was relatively small but the quality was evident with the amazing tempura quality and serious wasabi for sashimi, or tofu on side and miso soup. I thought 1500 Yen was a happy price.

ロールケーキ - Roll Cake
ロールケーキと言えば、行列の絶えないモンシュシュの堂島ロールが思い浮かぶが、これはホイップクリーム部分が多いのにさっぱりと軽い味にできている。昨日はモンブランの老舗アンジェリーナのロールケーキを買ってみた。サイズは小振りで、上に定番のモンブランがあしらわれており、その味はもっと濃密と言うのか重めで、これもお薦めできる。価格は1365円。
The roll cake that pops up in my mind immediately would be Dojima Roll of ChouChou for which people always line up in the store. Whipped cream occupies a large portion of it, but the taste is light and fresh. Yesterday, I bought a roll cake of Angelina, renowned for their Mont Blanc. The size was relatively small and on the top featured was a decorative layer of their popular Mont Blanc. It tasted richer with some more density, and I can recommend it. The price is 1365 Yen.
