Lock one main meal a day
Nishiki obanzai is a morning snack, not the main meal. Higashiyama matcha, Arashiyama yudofu, Kitano ramen, Nanzen-ji tofu — one per axis. Pontocho or Kiyamachi at night — pick one.
Market and station
Nishiki stalls are fullest before eleven; many close by dusk. Station ramen is one bowl — not a Kyoto cuisine theme day. Uji tea and parfait stay on the Uji day.
Where eating stops
The main meal follows today’s axis. Do not cross Higashiyama and Arashiyama for a must-eat list. Michelin here is a sample — not a booking promise.
