【ひっそりと 飾らない 告知しない のが 一流の中の一流】





【Quiet, unpretentious, and unannounced—
that is the mark of the very best of the best】
Saturday, May 16
Near Nijo Castle in Kyoto, quietly nestled
in a traditional Kyoto townhouse
is “Kutsurogi Cafe Aoi.”
It had been my first visit since November two years ago.
In this day and age,
everywhere you look,
it’s all about
posting,
sharing,
and going viral
all the time
We’ve been chasing it
far too much
It’s become
far too overwhelming
I’m
simply
fed up with it.
History
repeats itself.
In every era
The “real thing”
that survives
is actually
the opposite
Things that
don’t broadcast
don’t spread
don’t go viral
are the only ones
that survive.
The reason
I love the Relaxation Cafe Aoi
is precisely
because it
thoroughly
adheres to
not posting,
not spreading,
and not going viral.
No website,
no blog,
no Instagram.
That is exactly why,
even on weekends,
there are no lines.
And because there are no lines,
no matter the situation,
you can enjoy
high-quality cuisine.
That guarantee of high quality
is the proof of trust.
That is why
it is the real deal.
This is
the very best of the best.
What I had
that day was
・Mentaiko Butter Udon Pasta
(The udon pasta is a daily special)
・Pound Cake
Both are
masterpieces made with care
after the lady took my order.
The saltiness of the pasta
was just right—truly delicious.
The pound cake
had a perfect balance—not too sweet—
a flavor only possible because it’s handmade.
These two dishes
cost just over 1,000 yen.
What do you think?
These days,
Kyoto is flooded with places
that prioritize luxury,
brand names,
and look down on tourists to jack up prices.
It’s so common
and I often
end up feeling disappointed,
but a place that
doesn’t get swept up
in the trends of the times
is precisely
why it stands as
the very best of the best.
The joy of life lies in
not being bound by anyone’s expectations,
trusting your own five senses,
and cultivating the ability
to discern
the genuine article—
the very best of the best.
Isn’t that
the key to
truly
being yourself,
living a rich,
healthy,
and beautiful
and
truly
enjoy life
to the fullest.
Quietly
Unpretentious
Unannounced
Right in the heart of Kyoto
yet
a very
quiet traditional Kyoto townhouse
Relaxing Café Aoi
If you’re thinking
about changing your life
or
want to feel
the warmth of genuine people
please
come visit us sometime.
Once again,
the warmth of the lady of the house
was simply the best.
Thank you for the meal.
