# Ine no Funaya Miyabi

Places we stopped along the way　/　Ine, Kyoto

A Japanese-style cafe in a boathouse built about 80 years ago and renovated in the manner of a teahouse. At a seat open to the sea, I had mitarashi dango made with Kyoto rice and a cup of green tea. It also operates as an inn.

552 Hirata, Ine, Yosa District, Kyoto

## This moment in the journey: A cafe in a renovated boathouse

Let's drop in at the coffee shop in a renovated funaya. Past the noren curtain, lamps made of glass fishing floats hung from the ceiling, and beyond the floor was the open sea.

Handmade mitarashi dango made with Kyoto rice: how could I say no? I carried the tray of green tea and the plate of dango to a seat at the water's edge. Aoshima floated at the mouth of the bay, and all I could hear was the sound of the waves.
