There is a Nishiki that even Nishiki people do not know

“There are Nishikis that even people from Nishiki don’t know. Walking through the 390-meter long market is like walking along a road with a 400-year-long history. Nishiki Market is not only known for its history and arcade, but also for its deep shopping district. You can find rare ingredients that cannot be found elsewhere, unique food culture that Kyoto has cultivated, and knowledge that can only be taught by experts. Please enjoy the various aspects of Nishiki.”
