That heart made itself; I took it as an omen. I had just discovered my favorite spot :”The Philospher’s Walk” where you can stroll along a little river over-hung with flowers. The path is edged with cafes and artists’ studios. One plus of Japanese culture: eveyone takes pictures of everything, so no big deal to pull out a camera in the middle of a restaurant. When my scallion shred became a heart, I gasped, clicked and showed everyone in the cafe my picture.

Anna, is so cool you discovered a way to go deep into the local food scene. I was in Kyoto a few years ago and wish I had known about Kyoto Free Guides. Can you PLEASE teach me how to make scallion hearts?

Your amazing spirit of adventure comes through in this wonderful tale of Japanese food and cooking. I loved reading about the pickling, mixing, cutting, and how it’s all translated. Thanks for this delicious taste of Kyoto.
