秋は日本の小学校、中学校、高校の「修学旅行」のシーズンです。有名な観光地に向かいます。だから、制服を着た学生が多いのです。「みたらし団子」を食べておられましたね。その茶色にかけられていたものは砂糖醤油の葛餡です。甘じょっぱさが特長です。食べられていたのは葛餡が多めの変わり種ですね。わたしも食べたことがありません。とにかく、映像がとてもきれいですね。美しいです🤭

Hello! Thank you for the nice Kyoto tour. Enjoyed the street and surrounding scenery. Have a wonderful day. 😊

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

You're welcome and thank you very much! 😁😁

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you very much!! 😊😊

[@easyduster]

The thing you ate on a stick is called mitarashi dango, and the sauce is a sweet soy sauce. I never thought barbecue sauce when I eat it though LOL

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

It definitely reminded us of a sweet barbecue sauce but I can see how it would have been soy sauce instead! 😊

[@coconutpanda]

The three rice balls on a stick is mitarashi dango - rice dumplings essentially, in sweet soy sauce glaze. Also, about sake (not saki), you pour and/or refill for each other but not yourself. You pour for your companion and then your companion pours for you.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Aw shoot, we messed up the sake pouring! (and apparently the spelling of it, too - I'm noy sure which one I'm more embarrassed about 😳). Thanks!!

[@jackyn6093]

Thank you for your video. I am Japanese and surprised at new discoveries from foreigners' point of view.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Haha, yeah - we were not expecting the rice balls to be savory. We thought they would be sweet! 😁😁

[@jackyn6093]

There's sweets called Ohagi, which are rice balls covered with sweet red bean paste. It's also delicious! Try it!

[@liamlee8422]

my goodness. I was there two weeks ago on December 3rd at this very temple - Kiyomizu-dera even the streets that were shown in this video. The crowd situation was out of control like I can't even walk at all. 85% of people were locals; 15% were foreigners

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Oh wow, so a lot more foreigners are there now! It will only continue to increase, I think. 😁

[@あいうえお-o6s1f]

I love Kyoto, too. 🥰 Did you eat Yudofu（湯豆腐🍲）? 🤤

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

I can't be sure, but Yudofu looks like something we ate when we were in Mt Koya! So...maybe?!

[@あいうえお-o6s1f]

@@TalesFromOurPocket Thank you for reply. Probably what you ate in Mt.Koya was Koya-dofu. Yudofu is a hot pot dish that you can eat near Nanzenji（南禅寺） in Kyoto.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Oh, we definitely did not have that but it sounds delicious! Next time!

Those are students on their school trip , study about history of Kyoto. They come from all over Japan.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

School trips are much better in Japan than in the US, we think! 🙂

[@morimo490]

Japanese students usually go to Kyoto in their second year of high school as a graduation trip. Kyoto is a city of cultural value, so students from all over Japan head there. Autumn is the most popular season, but students often visit in spring and other seasons. Most of them are in Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. There are also schools that go overseas or to Hokkaido.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

An overseas trip with a school class sounds like such a great learning experience for kids. What a great opportunity!!

[@migrantig2910]

@@TalesFromOurPocket 有些日本學校會選擇台灣做畢業旅行。 看街頭訪問似乎有相當部分的高中畢業生喜歡珍珠奶茶和小籠包，但覺得台灣既臭又髒。🤣 雖說如此台灣還是成為今年日本人最常去的國家之一。😄

3:22 みたらし団子（mitarashi dango）ですね。 砂糖醤油と葛餡を使った、串団子（kushi dango）です🍡 串団子🍡は、みたらし団子、餡子を使った団子など種類がありますが 私は海苔巻き団子（醤油と海苔）のしょっぱい団子が好きです。 修学旅行なので、複数学校が来ますね。 私も学生の頃、京都、奈良へ行きましたし清水寺にも行きました。住んでる場所や地域によって行く場所は違います。行く季節も学校によります。 おそらく今映ってる学生たちは、京都以外の学校から来た人学生だと思います。

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Wow, thank you! Did you enjoy the field trips as a child? In the US, field trips don't go very far from home. I need to look up 🍡 dango!

In Japan today, there is a financial subsidy from the government for travel support, so it may be a time when Japanese people move a lot. However, this seems to be less than usual.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Less than usual? Wow!!

As you may know, If you can't find a toilet, many convenience stores will lend you an employee toilet for free. (It's polite to buy something, but it's okay if you don't buy anything.) "Toile wo kashite kuremsuka?"

Key Yo Toe 🚫👎 Kyo Toe ✅ 👍🏽 No worry it’s not just you most people mess this up. Key Yo is correct for Kiyomizudera… notice the difference in spelling kyo vs kiyo. Mitarashi Dango 🍡 is Mochi and Sweet Soy Sauce glaze. One more and I’ll stop. It’s Saké 🍶as in Sah Kay not Sah Key 🔑 Great video, not trynna harsh your melon but I’d be a bad Japanese Major to not share 😇
