Nishiki Market, Kyoto Overview
Five covered blocks and something over a hundred stalls, selling pickles, yuba, tamagoyaki, knives and a good deal of tourist street food. Shops open around ten and close by six, and individual stalls take Wednesday or Sunday off, so it is never shut but often patchy. Eat standing at the stall that sold you the food rather than walking with it.
The Nishiki Market is a narrow five-lane market that is crammed with a hundred or more shops, with different kinds of wholesale produce. The market, known popularly as 'Kyoto's Kitchen' is a popular haunt for locals and tourists alike. This market has a delightful array of unique Japanese condiments, seafood, cookware and special pickles and Japanese sweets. The markets freely distribute samples and skewers of food, and the sheer sight of the beautiful produce is bound to delight anyone. The market has a history of centuries, and is even run by ancient families.
