Nishiki Market

If culinary delights are appealing to you, the Nishiki Market has more than a hundred shops and restaurants offering a variety of foods to try!

The Nishiki Market presents an array of both fresh and preserved foods, along with sweet Japanese treats. Soy milk donuts are a delicacy one simply can not miss out on. Freshly fried, they are perfectly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Another food to be on the lookout for is dashimaki or Japanese-style rolled omelet. Delicately rolled and bursting with umami savory flavor, this is a simple but delicious dish to try.

Finally, for those who love seafood, the tako tamago, which consists of a candied baby octopus stuffed with quail egg, is one of the most popular and unique dishes at the market.

A point to note for visitors is to refrain from eating while walking, as it is considered rude in Japan!
