冷麺の季節じゃなくても、食べたくなる──紫野「中華のサカイ本店」
大徳寺の東側、ふと道を曲がると、「中華のサカイ本店」が現れる。いかにも町中華、なのにどこか品がある。京都で「中華を食べたい」と言われたら、わたしはいつもここを勧める。

お目当てはもちろん「冷麺」。
とはいえ、こちらで言う“冷麺”は、いわゆる冷やし中華のこと。むっちりと太い麺を氷水で締め、マヨネーズベースのタレで和える。
コクの中に酢の酸味とからしの香りが立ちのぼり、あとを引く。焼豚かハム、きゅうり、刻み海苔。具は潔く、主役はあくまで麺とタレだ。

昭和28年に始まり、今では通年提供されているのも常連の声があったから。
そんな店と客とのやりとりが、いい。
創業は昭和14年、もとは喫茶店。
戦後に洋食から中華へ転じ、名残の「オムライス」も人気の一品。
ケチャップライスを薄焼き卵で包んだ、やさしい味がする。湯気立つ厨房、手書きの品書き、トリコロールのエプロン姿。ここに流れるのは、「変わらないこと」の信頼。京都で冷麺と言えば、やはりこの一杯を思い出す。そして、口にすればまた来たくなる。そんな味。

In the heat of a Kyoto summer, what people look forward to most may not be the breeze by the Kamo River or the chilled sake on a riverside terrace—but rather, a bowl of chilled noodles from Chuka no Sakai Honten in Murasakino.
The thick, cold noodles shine as you lift them, like koi fish waking up in a pond. They’re smooth and bouncy, and with the first bite, your heart says, “Wow, this is good.” Their homemade mayonnaise is rich but never heavy, perfectly balancing sweetness and tang. A hint of wasabi gently hits your nose, refreshing and slightly addictive. The toppings—ham, shredded cucumber, and seaweed—stay quiet in the background, letting the noodles and sauce shine.
This shop opened in 1939, originally as a café. After the war, it transformed into a Chinese-style eatery. Their signature chilled noodles were created in the summer of 1953. It was meant to be a seasonal item, but regulars kept asking for it—so now, it’s served all year round.
When it comes to Chinese food in Kyoto, this is my top pick. Not for fame, but because this bowl truly knows how to comfort you. It’s cold, yes—but also incredibly gentle.

涼麵，是京都的夏日俳句，簡短，卻意蘊深長。
在紫野的「中華のSakai本店」，我舉筷夾起那盤冰亮的粗麵，嘴唇還未觸及，心裡已先說了一聲「好吃」。麵條滑潤有彈性，如池塘裡甦醒的鯉魚，帶著一種恰到好處的力道與冷意，讓人從第一口便無法自拔。
自製的美乃滋──濃卻不膩，甘醇中透著酸，緊接著一抹芥末從喉頭竄上鼻腔，如晨光拂面，令人清醒。配料僅是火腿、黃瓜絲與海苔絲，極簡，卻將主角的地位讓予麵與醬，彼此合奏，無聲勝有聲。
這家昭和十四年創立的老舖，原為喫茶店，戰後轉型為町中華。涼麵出現於昭和二十八年的盛夏，本是夏季限定。後來，回鄉的老客人念念不忘那一味，於是，這碗涼麵就成了四季的日常，也成了一種無聲的契約。廚房裡，火聲、人聲、鍋鏟聲，此起彼落。店員身穿三色圍裙，穿梭如舞。牆上的手寫菜單，是時光留下的筆跡，一筆一劃，皆是熟客的回憶。
京都的涼麵我只推這裡。不是因為名氣，而是因為味道知道怎麼安撫一個人。吃進去的，不只是涼，而是歲月的溫度。
這碗涼麵，是一則記憶裡的老故事，冷，卻動人。

21.木苺

本来は木苺のアイスデザートを作りたかった
様なのですが、シェフ曰く
良い木苺に出会えなかったので２種類の木と
苺を繋いで木苺と言うメニューにしたとの事。

その木苺アイスには
榧（かや）の葉っぱのソースで作ったオイルを
上から滴らせてクロモジの木を煮出しながら
作り上げたゼリーで纏めて有ります。

使用した苺は醗酵させた黒苺で個性的な甘さ
ザクザクと齧って冷んやりの瞬間に変わった
香りが口内で舞い散ってコレが黒苺の香りか
と不思議な感じを頂きました。
聞きますと
クロモジのゼリーと黒苺をかき混ぜると
杉っぽい香りが芽生えて少し風変わりな
香味が纏う木苺のお口直しの一品になる
とのお話でした。

22.わらび餅

見た目は蕨餅なのですが
中身は異なっててパンナコッタに
新芽のローズマリーをたっぷりと
かけてありお淑やかな甘味が募り
京菓子の様な品の良い甘味が滲み
大変にしっとり舌を落ち着かせる
素敵な甘味となってました。
お薄が欲しくなる様な和菓子風の
甘いもんでした。

23.食べられなさそうで食べられる

◉モアイ像を模したの黒いフィナンシェ

一見すると小菓子ではなく飾り物かと
勘違いしそうですが小菓子とのことで
外観上は食べるもので無さそうなので
こう言うネーミングのメニューにした
そうです。

フィナンシェの中身は
猪肉とアライグマの油性分と黒胡麻を使って
焼き上げたフィナンシェとなっております。

24.珈琲

25.プレゼントの箱

食べられないけど食べれそうと言うメニューで
宝箱の中にビニール袋詰めで石鹸が入ってます。
これはお持ち帰り品のプレゼントで一見すると
砂糖菓子の様に見えて食べれそうと言う感覚に
なりますが実際は石鹸なので食べられないもの
そう言うニュアンスを含んだ愉快なメニューで
最後の最後まで楽しさが絶えない料理構成にて
此処迄仕上げて来るのにどんだけ手間暇掛けて
創作されてるのかと想像致しますとシェフ及び
奥様に感謝の念でいっぱいになりました。

Lunch at @marugameuk Oxford Street

You need to try this! Tokyo Hot Honey chicken rice, is a dish featuring crispy karaage chicken in a spicy-sweet sauce served over steamed rice, chilli and spring onions. It's so tasty! @marugameuk also do fantastic tempura prawns and chicken gyozas. And their matcha donuts are excellent too. One of my favourite fast food restaurants in london.

Discover Prime Barbecue in Knightdale, NC: A Top-Rated Destination for Texas Barbecue

Prime Barbecue: Rated #2 in the Nation by Texas Monthly
If you're a barbecue enthusiast willing to extend a 12 ½ hour drive by another 50 minutes just for lunch (raises hand), @primebbq in Knightdale, NC might be your perfect stop. Recently rated #2 in the nation for Texas-style barbecue outside of Texas by Texas Monthly, this spot is drawing attention for good reason.

A Journey Worth Taking
Your journey to Prime Barbecue will likely start with a line of eager customers, sometimes 200-deep. Even an hour after opening, the place buzzes with energy, with around 50 people already inside savoring the flavors. While the high ranking might feel slightly generous, the quality of the barbecue justifies the crowd's enthusiasm.

Must-Try Delights
Fatty Brisket: Excellent and a favorite among visitors, though just shy of the top 50 outside of the Lone Star State.

Beef Tips: Cooked with sauce, though some might prefer less of it.

Pork: A standout in a state known for its pork dishes, offering a nice smoky flavor.

The special beef ribs are a crowd favorite, as evidenced by the raving fan beside me.

The Sides: A Mixed Bag
While the meat is the star at Prime Barbecue, sides play a crucial role in the overall experience. The mac n cheese was a slight letdown. Southern Living Magazine ranks it 30th best in the South, considering all styles. This aligns more closely with my personal experience.

Location and Recommendations
Located just outside Raleigh, Prime Barbecue is a must-visit for anyone in the area. While my recommendation comes with the caveat that @bbqsnob rates it a bit higher than I do, it remains a worthy stop on your barbecue journey.

Future Adventures
My newfound barbecue buddies suggested I try @dampfgoodbbq in Cary, NC next. The internet seems to agree, and it conveniently lies along my route. Oh heck, I see it’s even Michelin recommended! It's already on the agenda for my next trip!

Prime Barbecue in Knightdale, NC is a destination you won't want to miss on your barbecue exploration. Less

🥐☕️COFFEE & CROISSANT! (Or if you're me, vanilla latte & ham and cheese croissant!) @mocandmore

Had this deliciousness a few weeks ago when a bestie came to visit the new digs! Loving local new spots to try!

Where shall I try next?☕️🥐

I’m not usually into carb-on-carb action, but this was the best most interesting thing I tried at the new @timeoutmarketunionsquare food hall. It’s a Jamaican curry patty sandwiched between a fluffy slice of coco bread.

Other media outlets seemed less impressed by this one. But I dunno, it tasted good to me! The spicy and creamy sauces were so flavorful, and the whole big loaf was steaming hot when it came out. I didn’t finish because it would have become a log in my belly that prevented me from trying all the other stalls. So take this with a grain of salt. But I thought it was nice work, @chefkwamespattypalace.
