Taste Kyoto along a covered market street.
Browse food shops and choose a few things to try. Eat inside the shop or in its designated space, rather than while walking. Individual shop hours and closing days vary.
The story behind this place
Nishiki Market is often called Kyoto’s kitchen. Its specialist shops connect everyday cooking with the city’s food traditions, from pickles to ingredients used by professional cooks. It is a working shopping street, so tasting should take place in the spaces provided by each shop.
