Japanese Street Food Tour Top 10 in Kyoto Japan | Nishiki Market Food Guide
Top 10 Japanese Street Food Tour in Kyoto Japan. Food Guide in Nishiki Market and Gion Area, walking street food tour to my top 10 favorite street food spots. Nishiki Market is known as Kyoto’s kitchen and it’s been around for 400 years. And one of the main reasons why Nishiki Market opened up here in Kyoto is because this very spot run clean and cold groundwater which was used a refrigeration system by shop owners back in the day. Now there about 129 stores crammed in this narrow 400 meter market and it’s equally crowded with locals and tourists alike. Many Japan tourists and Japan travelers are looking for the best food market spots at Nishki and I cover some of the best shops We try the famous Tako Tamago which is an Octopus with a quail egg inside. We also try Tamagoyaki at Kai, which is a fluffy and elegant tasting Dashimaki Tamago made only with their High-end Kyoto eggs. Dashimaki Tamago is a type of Tamagoyaki but uses a Dashi soup and is usually not sweet. Also on the menu for this Kyoto Street Food tour are Oysters, Fishcakes, Grilled Fish, Cheese Tart, Fried Chicken Karaage, Black Ramen and Melon Pan Ice Cream.
This is Japan Food Travel Guide for Japan tourists and and Kyoto travelers. So many things to see and eat in Kyoto, but I wanted to give everyone a Kyoto Street food guide on Things to do in Kyoto and where to eat in Kyoto.
Nishiki Market (錦市場 Nishiki Ichiba) (literally brocade market) is a marketplace in downtown Kyoto, located on a road one block north and parallel to Shijō Street (四条通 Shijō-dōri) and west of Teramachi Street (寺町通 Teramachi-dōri). Rich with history and tradition, the market is renowned as the place to obtain many of Kyoto's famous foods and goods.
Gion is Kyoto’s geisha district, with hostesses in colorful kimonos often sighted on the wooden Tatsumi Bridge, or amid upscale Japanese restaurants and boutiques on Hanamikoji Street.

GLORIOUS Japanese STREET FOOD Tour of Kuromon Market | Osaka, Japan
In January of 2019, I was hired to do a four-day job in Japan, but I knew I wanted to see more of the country, so I extended my trip to twelve days. I’m so glad I did, because in those twelve days, I got to visit incredible historical and cultural sites, natural wonders, observation decks with stunning views, and much more. And I had the pleasure of meeting some awesome people and eating some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life! Come along with me as I explore Japan!

On the afternoon of my first full day in Osaka, I wanted to get a taste of the city’s street food scene, so I headed out on an amazing tour with the wonderful people at Magical Tours! They offer lots of different types of tours in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima, and employ locals to lead them, making for a fun and immersive experience. I couldn’t wait try some outstanding Japanese street food!
My Film Making Kit ►
First, I met up with my Magical Trip guide, Yaeko, and the rest of our tour group at 11 a.m. in the Amza area of Osaka. From there, we walked to Kuromon Market, which has been around for roughly 200 years!
The first thing we went for was takoyaki, a type of fritter ball with pieces of octopus meat inside. At 500 Yen/$4.49 U.S. for eight pieces, it’s inexpensive! We got two orders, each of which was covered in two types of sauce and bonito flakes. They’re served steaming hot, so open them up and wait a bit so you don’t burn your tongue. They’re so chewy and delicious, though, sometimes it’s hard to wait!
The octopus is wonderful, and the inside of the fritter is almost like a bechamel sauce. The bonito flakes add a bit of texture. They were a little spicy and so yummy, and sweet as well as savory!
On our way through the market, we saw some succulent-looking sushi, some giant crab legs that were being charred with a blowtorch, and even some gigantic live eels!
Next were mochis and strawberries. The strawberries were super sweet and out of this world! The white and red one I had was phenomenal! The matcha mochi we then tried was bite-size and absolutely fantastic, and we had another with a sauce on it, which was incredibly sweet, but also so good!
Next was oden, or Japanese hotpot. Unlike Chinese hotpot, Japanese hotpot isn’t spicy. This kind had deep-fried tofu, fish cakes, konjac, tofu skin, and more. The tofu skin was amazing, and there was a thicker one with vegetables that was also really good. The fish cake was like a mix of tofu and fish and the konjac was dense and slimy. It wasn’t my favorite, but I loved the rest!
Next, we had tako tamago, or small, skewered grilled octopus stuffed with a quail egg. It was marinated in a slightly sweet sauce, was cooked perfectly, and had a wonderful texture. We followed that with grilled scallops in a soy butter sauce. It was like butter! The sauce was so phenomenal we had to drink it right out of the shell!
Then we shared some tempura eel. It was crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the eel tasted more like fish. It was so good!
From there, we walked to a commercial area where you can buy utensils, souvenirs, pans for making takoyaki, dumpling steamers, and more! I bought some chopsticks for my daughters and for everyone in my family.
Wow, what an incredible street food tour of Kuromon Market! This Magical Trip walking food tour was such a fantastic way to try some of Osaka’s best street food with an amazing local guide. I have to thank Yaeko and Magical Tours for such an incredible afternoon.
I hope you enjoyed my Kuromon Market food walking tour with Magical Trip in Osaka! If you did, please give the video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Also, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already and I will see you in the next travel food adventure!

The ULTIMATE Japanese FOOD & DRINK Tour of Shibuya - Izakaya Bar Hopping | Tokyo, Japan
In January of 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to spend twelve days in Japan while working a job for a company there. I had some of the most incredible travel and food experiences of my life during those twelve days, and was lucky enough to immerse myself in traditional Japanese culture and visit some of the country’s most iconic sites. I hope you enjoy watching this Japan series as much as I enjoyed filming it!

On the night of my third day in Tokyo, I set out on an incredible food and drink tour with Magical Trip, a tour service that is available in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima and takes small groups of tourists on a wide variety of food and cultural tours. Best of all, the tours are led by local guides, so participants get the inside scoop on places known only by locals. I couldn’t wait to get started!
My Film Making Kit ►
My last street food tour of Tokyo began on another freezing night at Shibuya Crossing, the busiest intersection in the world! I met up with my tour guide, Remi, and my fellow tour-goers, and we set off on our Izakaya, or a mixture of restaurants and bars, tour of Shibuya!
At our first place, we started with a wet towel to clean our hands (and in my case, my face) before our meal. Then, we ordered some shochu, a Japanese spirit that’s a lot like vodka. It’s about 25% alcohol and reminded me of rakia. It’s pretty strong!
My first dish was tuna sashimi with shoyu (soy sauce) and wasabi. It was so fresh and fatty. One of the best things about dining in Japan is all of the fresh seafood! Next up was the fried oyster, which was crunchy and buttery and fantastic with the mayo it was served with.
On our way to our next place, we passed by lots of restaurants and stores selling things like shoes, clothing and even lingerie! This area is exactly what you expect to see when you think “Tokyo,” bright lights and a dizzying flurry of activity everywhere you look!
Our next stop was an Izakaya building, where we went up to the third floor and had some sake with ice to start, followed by some wagyu beef that was torched right at our table! I had it with some rice and wasabi. It was so buttery and a little crispy on top from the torch. Fantastic!
Then I had some waygu beef with rice and green onions, which was also amazing! I loved it!
After that, we headed to our third Izakaya, a place called Meat Alley, which offered a wide selection of alcoholic drinks and meat dishes. I started with some plum wine, which tasted like grapefruit juice! I couldn’t believe it was wine, but it was delicious!
After our drinks, we moved on to some karaage, or fried chicken. It was so different, but so amazing! It blows KFC out of the water, for sure! Next I tried some asparagus and mushrooms, which were phenomenal. Then, it was time for bacon! It was super thick and fatty and very flavorful.
I followed the bacon with a super dry, cold sake that had a nice, fruity flavor, and we finished off our night with a quiz based on some of the information Remi shared with us on our tour. How do you think I did?
Wow! What a night! That Izakaya tour was so much fun and was a great way to eat some food and have some drinks like a local would. I have to thank Remi and Magical Tours for such an incredible night.

The ULTIMATE Japanese FOOD & DRINK Tour of Shibuya - Izakaya Bar Hopping | Tokyo, Japan
Kyoto Food Tour with Magical Trip (Exploring Gion & Pontocho) || 祇園とポンチョの食べ物
Tonight, we embark on an epic Kyoto food tour with Magical Trip to track down some of the most traditional dishes of the area. We visit three restaurants in the Gion and Pontocho areas and try some unique and creative things. If you've never heard of Magical Trip, they offer small group tours with local guides. The tours are so much fun and because they led by a local guide, it feels like you're just hanging out with friends. Those are our favorite kind of tours. Oh, and the Kyoto Night Foodie Tour was super family friendly (we'll link below to our specific tour, but they have many!).
Each region of Japan is known for different specialties so on this Kyoto food tour, we wanted to sample some of the most well known dishes in the area. Tofu skin, tempura, and even matcha beer. Just the tip of the iceberg.
Here's a link to the tour:
Full disclosure, Magical Trip gave us the tour for free, but otherwise no compensation was given. All the opinions are ours with no outside influence. Any links from us are just links for convenience - no compensation for us!
