Kyoto Nishiki Market
It should be a must-see attraction for everyone
1. I personally recommend this store that sells candy 🍬 jars and fragrant pancakes
The small shop #京月待庵 is worth a visit
The patterns on the tin cans (bean cans) are all representative attractions or patterns of Kyoto or Japan🇯🇵
It's worth bringing back to give to friends and children
This is a photo from last year
And business is good.
The boss is also very demanding on quality
I found a few with some flaws.
He will help me change it. If it is out of stock, please change to another model.

2. Famous Fried Tonkatsu
Kyoto’s most popular food that attracts long queues –
#名代肉排 The crispy and delicious Mingdai pork chop Katsukura is also one of the must-eat foods when traveling to Kyoto, Japan. If you come to Kyoto's Kawaramachi shopping district for shopping, you can go to the branch not far from the entrance of Teramachi-dori shopping street to try it!
Their miso soup is really good.
Free 🆓 refills🥣
