Kyoto Nishiki Ichiba (Market)

Baby octopus at Nishiki Ichiba (CNB 2012)

Nishiki Ichiba is the 'kitchen of Kyoto'. In operation since 1311, the 126 small shops sell not only food but other 'stuff' as well. I guess being in Kyoto warrants a walk down this narrow shopping street of the market to see what Kyotoites serve at their dinner tables.

There are plenty of seafood shops because the Japanese are big on seafood!



























There are shops selling non seafood as well, here is one selling tea and tea paraphernalia and another selling the most colourful candy.
