		<description><![CDATA[Why go to a haunted house in the summer? According to Japanese culture, there is a good reason. Recently a client from Walt Disney Imagineering was in town that is very interested in Japanese ghosts and haunted houses in general. He was in luck because there is a new haunted house in Kyoto. It is called Kyo Yuzen Obake Yashiki&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People abroad seem very interested in the traditional Japanese furoshiki these days, and with good reason; they are beautiful, useful and help us to me more environmentally friendly. Furoshiki make great gifts for family and friends back home because they are novel, trendy, light weight, unbreakable, and relatively inexpensive.
There are two furoshiki stores that I recommend visiting in Kyoto:&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Premium sake stores in Kyoto are surprisingly few. I highly recommend the sake in that requires refrigeration. This is called namazake, or fresh sake. Namazake is often unpasteurized and should not contain jozo alcohol (distilled brewing alcohol). Namazake is fresh and often surprisingly fruity in flavor and bouquet. Young Japanese often don&#8217;t like sake because they haven&#8217;t had the good,&#8230;]]></description>

Fortunately in Kyoto there are a few bakeries that make excellent bread. Le Petit Mec is my favorite and has two locations in Kyoto. Le Petit Mec has great bread, great sandwiches, great sweets and tarts and great coffee too.&#8230;]]></description>
