Toji Temple Sale

A few colleagues and I headed out early this morning to the Toji Temple Sale in Kyoto. Temple and shrine sales are nothing more than outdoor flea markets - but in beautiful surroundings - and are a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. After finding a few treasures (kokeshi dolls, lanterns, and gongs) we headed into the old district of Kyoto for lunch. We stumbled into a great place, and I discovered a new favorite dish - I believe the translation was 'hot and spicy black sesame noodle soup'. It was oishii! Here are a few photos from the day.
