Kyoto people don’t eat out very often.

Hello!
This is Kurama Tengu. ^^

There is a data that Kyoto people don’t spend too much money for dining outside.
I certainly agree with this as a Kyoto person.

Perhaps it is because not many customers come to restaurants in Kyoto, they are expensive, and the threshold is increasingly difficult to reach.
Osaka station TV programs often introduce delicious and inexpensive restaurants, but there are few such restaurants in Kyoto. (Except in some areas such as Gion.)

There is no culture of casually eating out.
Even teishoku-ya are expensive.

What was interesting about the data was that the amount of money Kyoto residents spend on Chinese noodles (ramen) was the lowest in Japan. Since my house is close to the ramen road in Ichijoji, I had assumed that all Kyoto people eat ramen often. Actually, most customers for ramen shops were students.

According to the data, it seems that eating out at company cafeterias, pizza, okonomiyaki, etc. is common.
I’m not good at powered food, but I wonder if everyone in Kyoto goes to eat okonomiyaki quite often.
There are certainly a lot of pizza places too.

And it is also the characteristic that Kyoto people spent less on liquors. It is true that there are few izakaya (Japanese-style pubs), but this may be because there are many people in Kyoto who cannot drink alcohol. (Geko) Or is it because there is a precept in Buddhist teachings that Buddhists must not drink alcohol?

A long time ago, a school teacher told me that the reason why people in Kyushu drink so much is because they are in the countryside and have no other pleasure than drinking alcohol. I wonder if that explanation is a bit different from the one given by people in Tokyo, who seem to drink a lot, even in the same city.
