Well over a hundred stalls line Nishiki, selling pickles, tofu skin, grilled fish and baby octopus on sticks with a quail egg tucked inside the head. The market asks people not to eat while walking, so a guide who knows which stalls have room to stand helps more than you’d think.
Discover the mouthwatering delights of Nishiki Market on our exclusive brunch walking food tour. Indulge in local flavors and embark on a culinary adventure.
