Nishiki Market

A Little shopping at the Nishiki Market and Lunch

This is a 400-year-old iconic market studded with stalls offering all manner of Japanese edibles.

Nishiki Market is a narrow, five-block long shopping street lined by more than one hundred shops and restaurants. Known as "Kyoto's Kitchen", this lively retail market specializes in all things food-related, like fresh seafood, produce, knives and cookware, and is a great place to find seasonal foods and Kyoto specialties, such as Japanese sweets, pickles, dried seafood, and sushi.

This is a new LAW that the vendors are not happy about

Octopus and other stick street-food

Squid

At the Market, we stopped at a fresh fish store for lunch.

We were led past the chairs you see on the left into a back room with three tables for a private lunch.

Here is my mixed fresh fish over rice. The carafe on the left is warm broth to pour into the bowl on the right to add rice or fish to as you might desire.
