Kyoto Food Street Tour With Chef Midori

About

In addition to Nishiki Market, which is popular among tourists, Kyoto has other shopping streets used by locals.

In front of JR Umekoji Park Kyoto West Station, one stop on the Sagano Line from JR Kyoto Station, there is a central market for professionals, called Kyoto's kitchen, and nearby is a shopping district for local residents. We will visit the fish section of the Kyoto central market. This shopping street has

lined with individual stores such as chicken stores, grocery stores, fruit shops, fish shops, butcher shops, Japanese sweets shops, toy shops, lunch box shops, cafeterias, and commercial kitchen supply stores, you can enjoy fried chicken, fruits, dashimaki eggs, fish cakes, croquettes, etc., have lunch with them, and buy kitchen knives and Japanese tableware at the commercial kitchen supply store. Enjoying a light meal at a shopping street loved by locals will also be a pleasant memory. If you wish, we can also take you to a railroad café run by a former railroad manager.
