There are many Chinese restaurants in Kyoto but few are authentic.
You do have to look deep into the back streets to find them!

SN3O0285

Shichifukuya (the h\House of the Seven Lucks) is one of them, and although it was our second visit we did have some trouble finding it in the dark of the night!

It was apparently a Japanese restaurant years before the present owners moved in 8 years ago, and they did change little of it. It is old but clean. But after all the food is the most important!

Apparently they have a lot of regulars with their own bottles!

SN3O0272

Apart of a good list of old Chinese spirits they provide all kinds of drinks, including Japanese sake!
