A view of Nishiki food market in Kyoto Japan

---

Nishiki Market in the Gion area of central Kyoto is often called “Kyoto’s Kitchen” by the locals and is the best traditional food market in the city. Popular with both locals and tourists, it offers you a glimpse into a traditional Japanese shotengai (shopping street). This is the place to find traditional Japanese ingredients such as tsukemono (pickles), Kyo-yasai (Kyoto vegetables), fresh tofu, green tea and fresh fish and seafood, along with many other weird and wonderful foods. There are also takeaway food stalls selling yakitori or sashimi, and even a few sit down restaurants to enjoy.
