Japanese HANA RECOMMEND NISHIKI Market for Kyoto Trip.
My name is HANA and I live in Kyoto, Japan.
Today I would like to introduce you to Nishiki Market, known as the kitchen of Kyoto.
Nishiki Market is a short walk from Shijo Subway Station and Hankyu Shijo Station. It is one of Kyoto's representative shopping streets, running east to west for about 390 meters.
It is a great place to take children, as it is a gathering place for Kyoto's food and requires little travel. Each store has an eat-in corner, so you can eat easily even if you have baggage.
First, let me introduce some Japanese sweets that have become famous on social networking sites. It is mizu-maru-mochi. It is a transparent strawbale rice cake covered with soybean flour. It goes great with molasses. It is very sweet .
Here's why it was so popular on social media. It is actually fun to see it in front of you.
Kyoto is famous for pickles. Among them, I love this store. Uchida Pickles.
Do you know Japanese Wasabi? It is wasabi with a spiciness that penetrates the nose. I recommend pickles made of yams pickled with wasabi. It is very tasty, so please give it a try.
This one should definitely be tasted at an eat-in restaurant.
Crab shells, grilled clams, and abalone skewers. The abalone skewers topped with butter are superb.
Specializing in river fish, TONOYO.
On the right is broiled eel. We Japanese eat eel in the hot summer. It is full of nutrients.
You can see grilled ayu fish with salt there.
On the left is eel liver. Eel liver is said to be good for the eyes. It contains 200 times more vitamin A than meat.
On the lower left is grilled sparrow. In Japan, sparrows are flying in the streets. Are there sparrows flying in your country? By the way, most Japanese do not eat sparrows. It seems to be a traditional culture.
At the eastern end of the shopping street is Nishiki Shrine. Anyone can visit the shrine.
Passing through the torii gate, you will find a money-offering box. Throw in your coins. The large rope hanging from above should be shaken, and the bell on the ceiling should be rung. This is to make the god look at you before praying. But now, because of the pandemic, we did not have to touch the rope at Nishiki Shrine. I was also surprised because I had never seen this before. When you put your hand over the cow, you will hear the digital sound of the bell. I am sure that God will hear your wish.
錦天神さん。
