Nishiki Market
About Nishiki Market
Kyoto's covered food market, running five blocks along Nishikikoji between Teramachi and Takakura and nicknamed 'Kyoto's Kitchen'. More than a hundred shops sell pickles, tofu, dashimaki omelette, fresh fish, sweets and knives, and many offer skewers or small tastes. The market asks visitors not to eat while walking, so eat at the stall. Go before noon for thinner crowds.
