Kyoto's famous 'Kitchen of Kyoto' — a vibrant covered market arcade with countless stalls offering fresh seafood, local produce, and street food. It's a must-visit for foodies, but I highly recommend coming early before the lunch crowds.
Nishiki Market, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8055, Japan
- Monkfish liver (Ankimo) · ¥400 — A small tray of monkfish liver, which is one of my favorites. It was incredibly rich and creamy, a perfect start to the market food tour.
- Beef tongue skewer · ¥780 — A beef tongue skewer that had a nice char to it, though it wasn't the best I've ever had. Still, a good savory bite.
- Octopus stuffed with quail egg · ¥500 — The famous octopus stuffed with a quail egg. I really liked the sauce they used, but the octopus itself was a little too chewy for my preference.
- Sweet cold matcha tea · ¥330 — A super refreshing sweet cold matcha tea, perfect for fighting jet lag and re-energizing while exploring the market.
- Shrimp and beans · ¥450 — A surprisingly good combination of beans cooked in a sweet soy sauce with small, crunchy shrimps. I kept seeing these at different stalls and had to try them.
- Muscat grapes · ¥1000 — A small container of Muscat grapes. They were expensive but incredibly sweet and plump, a delightful treat.
