Their signature dish of Yuzu Miso uses yuzu from Saga Mizuo in Ukyo Ward which is nicknamed “Yuzu Village.” The recipe was formulated by the first generation and the flavor has been passed down to this day. The containers also take a cute yuzu shape and would make welcome gifts.

Kimura Fresh Fish, a shop that dates back to the Edo Period, is located in the shopping street of Kyoto's kitchen, the Nishiki Market. It sells to retail customers beginning at noon and attracts not only local residents but also tourists. Reasonable prices are one attraction, since the shop buys large amounts of fish to resell to restaurants and caterers. Especially popular are bite-sized items that customers can eat on site or while walking around, such as marinated tuna, squid, and tuna carpaccio, which are flavored with soy sauce or oil and then speared with a skewer. This option is popular with foreign tourists.

Kimura Fresh Fish is an absolute gem within Nishiki Market and dare I say, provided better quality and value than what I saw in Osakas Kuromon Market! Perhaps due to the saturation of tourists...

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
