Nishiki Market

Nishiki Market is Kyoto's most vibrant traditional market, a narrow five-block covered shopping street in the city center packed with 100-plus specialty shops and stalls selling Kyoto's distinctive food culture. Known as Kyoto's Kitchen, it has supplied the city's restaurants and households with tofu, pickled vegetables, fresh fish, and matcha sweets for centuries. Tasting nibbles from stall to stall — skewered octopus, sesame mochi, dashi broth — is the best way to explore.
