A store where you can eat freshly baked fox crackers near Inari Shrine

Hello, I'm Mog, born in Japan and living in Kyoto.
I'm going to try to write in Japanese after English for a while starting today.
I'm always thinking about how I can make my articles more readable for everyone. Please let me know what you think.
こんにちは、日本生まれ京都在住のMogです🤗
今日からしばらく英語の後に日本語も書いてみようと思います。どういう形で記事を書くのが皆さんにとって読みやすいか、いつも考えています。ぜひご意見を聞かせてくださいね。


In a recent article, I introduced a chopstick specialty store near Inari Shrine.
Inari Shrine is two stops by train from Kyoto Station, and is a world-famous tourist attraction in Kyoto.
先日の記事で、稲荷神社近くの箸専門店をご紹介しました。
稲荷神社は京都駅から電車で2駅、世界的に有名な京都の観光名所です。


Today I'll explain a little about Inari Shrine and then I'll introduce you to one of my favorite stores.
今日は少し稲荷神社の事を説明してから、私の好きなお店を紹介しますね。

What are the benefits of Inari Shrine?
稲荷神社のご利益は？

It is said to be beneficial for business prosperity, industrial prosperity, family safety, traffic safety, and improvement of entertainment.
商売繁昌・産業興隆・家内安全・交通安全・芸能上達にご利益があると言われています。

Why are there so many torii gates at Inari Shrine?
なぜ稲荷神社にはたくさんの鳥居があるの？

The Inari Shrine has 10,000 torii gates lining the approach to the mountain. These gates are dedicated by people to express their gratitude that their wishes have come true. The dedication has continued from the Edo period to the present day. If you look closely at the torii gate, you can see the name of the person who dedicated it engraved on it. (That's the back side of the torii gate in this picture.)
稲荷神社には1万基の鳥居が山の参道に並んで立っています。これは願いが「通った(叶った)」感謝をこめて、人々が奉納したものです。奉納は江戸時代から現在に至るまで続いています。鳥居をよく見ると、奉納した人の名前が彫ってあります。(この写真では鳥居の裏側です)


The fox is the messenger of the Inari Shrine God.
狐は稲荷神社の神様のお使い

There are many fox motifs used in Inari Shrine. It's not because the god of Inari Shrine is a fox. The fox is the messenger of the god of Inari Shrine.
The foxes are not foxes in the fields or mountains. Like the gods, they are invisible to our eyes.
That is why the color used for the fox motif is white.
稲荷神社にはたくさんの狐のモチーフが使われています。稲荷神社の神様が狐だからではありません。狐は稲荷神社の神様のお使いなのです。
狐と言っても野山にいる狐はではありません。神様同様、私達の目には見えません。
そのため、狐のモチーフに使われる色は白なのです。

A shop where you can eat freshly baked fox crackers.
焼き立てのきつね煎餅が食べられるお店

Near Inari Shrine, there is a store that bakes fox crackers in front of you. The store's name is "Sohonke Inariya".

Yebisu beer speciality bar in Kyoto

Does anyone here like beer? I like Yebisu beer the best. What is Yebis? Yebisu is the name of this god. He is the god of good fortune who brings prosperity in fishing and business. Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  In front of Kyoto station, there is a Yebisu beer speciality bar. In this bar, we can enjoy some kind of Yebisu beer. Here is the menu. There are so many different kinds, it's hard to decide. I chose one based on the chart for acidity and richness. It looked so good that I forgot to take a picture and just took a sip.😂 The beer foam is fine and delicious! Yebisu floated up from the coaster after I enjoyed beer.💕 There is an Yebisu figurine at the counter. . If you look closely, you'll see that Ebisu is holding a beer! Hahaha🤣 Offering money to the gods is probably the Japanese style. May you be blessed.✨ −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  Address Kyoto Yodobashi 1F, 59...

Why don't Japanese people say "I love you"? (3)

Today's article is a continuation of the previous article, "Why don't Japanese people say I love you? This is the third article in the series. If you haven't read it yet, please read it from the beginning. 今日の記事は先日の「日本人はなぜ愛してると言わないのか」というテーマの続きです。今回はシリーズ3回目の記事です。 まだ読んでいない方は、初めから読んでみてください。 🔶 1回目の記事はこちら 🔶 2回目の記事はこちら In my previous article, I talked about the cultural background of Japanese people's understanding of other people's emotions through trivial facial expressions and actions. 日本人が相手の感情を些細な表情や行動で理解する文化的背景について、前回の記事でお話しました。 Due to our cultural background and education, I believe that Japanese people have a very high capacity for empathy. I have often heard people who have traveled to Japan say that many people are kind to them when they visit Japan. This may be because we Japanese feel as if we are the ones who are in trouble when people around us are in trouble. 文化的な背景や教育の影響で、日本人の共感する力はとても高いと思います。よく日本に行くと親切にしてくれる人が多いと、日本に旅行に来た方が言うのを聞いたことがあります。これは周りの人が困っ...

Read Japanese classic literature for free

 Aozora Bunko is a public domain e-book. Reference : 青空文庫 https://www.aozora.gr.jp/ Why is it free？ Aozora Bunko stores two types of works: those whose copyrights have expired 50 years after the author's death, and those whose copyright holders have decided that it is okay to let people read them via the Internet.

However, there are many wonderful works that will move you. How to search the books If you know the  title or author's name, you can use the search box in the upper right corner to find it.
