Seasonal Flavors in the Market

#OsakaTrip
In the morning, I strolled through Kuromon Market, known as Osaka’s "kitchen," where an array of seafood, sushi, and oden stalls made my mouth water. I bought a skewer of takoyaki, soaking in the city’s lively atmosphere; the steaming hot sauce and the aroma of bonito flakes are the purest tastes of Osaka. Afterwards, I headed to Kyoto to visit Nishiki Market, known as the "Kitchen of Kyoto." This narrow shopping street is lined with fresh pickles, tamagoyaki, grilled eel, and other authentic delicacies. I casually stepped into a century-old shop to try freshly fried yuba croquettes, crispy on the outside and tender inside, bursting with the fragrance of soybeans. The market was bustling with people, and the vendors warmly greeted customers, filling the street with energy. In the afternoon, I bought a cup of matcha latte and sat down at a tatami tea house on the corner, watching the bustling crowd and feeling the everyday rhythm of the city.
