Kyoto weather update · October 1 Around 28°C / 83°F during the day, dropping to 18°C / 64°F overnight. It doesn’t feel like autumn yet! Temperatures are coming down, but it feels more like a comfortable end to summer. T-shirts are still fine during the day, with a light layer for the evening. Don’t expect autumn colours just yet if you’re visiting early this month. #Kyoto #KyotoWeather #KyotoTravel #JapanTravel #japaninoctober

I recently started my matcha journey and have been enjoying making my own lattes! I don’t usually film the process, but decided to record this one after I’d already prepped my glass, so a few steps are missing 🤭 What I used: • 3 g Ippodo Sayaka matcha • 10 ml water to make a paste • Another 30 ml water to whisk • Kikkoman soy milk (調製豆乳, the green carton) • Ice • Oligo no Okage syrup (オリゴのおかげ), just a thin layer at the bottom of my glass #MatchaLatte #IcedMatcha #MatchaAtHome #IppodoMatcha #matchalovers

Oyama Shrine is the one with the colorful glass gate in Kanazawa, but take a look at the omamori too! They have so many designs, with charms for good luck, health, work, relationships, and more.
