Nishiki Food Market isnt a tourist spot actually. It is one of the area recommended in a BIG file of Kyoto Budget Inn under the section "What to do" in Kyoto. So we visited this area and see what it is like. Since majority of Japan is very well-organized, the food market is no surprise at all. Basically, it was a market where it sells a lot of food stuffs especially seafood and some fermented vegetables and fruits! The best thing here is you can always sample the fermented stuff and bonito if you are curious how it will taste like. The stall owner are very hospitable too. Even if you say you wont buy after you test, they wont get angry at all! First stall where we buy our food is this dessert stall. Each we bought one to sample how it taste like. But of course the lookalike we didnt buy it. Just those that looks different from each other. Hehehehe....
They have a lot of grill seafood too. Fishes, squid (tako), scallop etc. They really looks tempting but didnt manage to eat them all ....
This is what I regret the most!!! The fresh abalone is as big as my hands and it only cost 50SGD. Gosh I really regretted we didnt buy this and ask the stall owner to grill it. It really looks umph ....... But we tried the scallop though. 3 cost about 12SGD and each is as big as half of your hand. It taste sooooooooo FRESH and SUPERB!!!
Along the way, they have a lot of bentos too. The bentos are meant for workers who are working for their lunch. We also bought a few boxes here for our lunch before we depart to our next destination. The bentos really taste AWESOME!! OIISHIIIII desu. Their taste are similar to those that you can get in the japanese restaurant in Singapore. I am not exaggerating here ... IT'S TRUE!!!!
They have a variety of vegetables with different colours too. They all looks delicious to me. But didnt manage to try this cos the food we bought is already a lot ...
We bought some of the salted vegetables back. You can sample each of them. Ranging from olive to raw pepper. Some taste good, some well not to my taste. Dont really like them. However, they are not cheap though. But can last for very long as you will only need a little bit for a big bowl of rice or porridge. Just mix them together. And i think it will taste not that salty.
Here is another stall selling grills. You can find a lot of grill eels here too ...
Here, there are a few stalls that sell a lot of fermented vegetables. It doesnt smell good but it taste good though ^_^
