Hidden Kyoto Food Spot No One Knows About

I’m taking you to Kyoto Tower Sando hidden just below the base of the iconic Nidec Kyoto Tower and unknown to many, directly connected to Kyoto station through an underground passage. And at the time of filming this, it’s so surprising how little to no lines there are given that the food is so reasonably priced and rivals the taste of any shops you’d find at many of Kyoto’s traveler destinations, which is why this is has become one of my go-to spots after and before getting off the train with it’s traditional Japanese dishes and unique Kyoto specialities. Here’s the skinny, the first floor hosts souvenir shops, the second floor has a workshop type area and the basement B1 floor is the Food Hall….and where this Kyoto Food Adventure begins as I show you some of my top hitters

*This was filmed on June 11th 2024. The price is based on that day.

Hi Paolo, my wife and I are coming to Japan in October 2024 and because of this trip I have recently come across your channel and have watched quite a few in the last couple of weeks. May I say, I enjoy your video’s and find the content very informative, so keep them coming. I recently found your video when you visited your In-laws for New Year and as a grandfather myself loved the interaction between your Father In Law and your son. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I love your video’s and look forward to seeing more, best wishes from Australia.

[DiddyKongDon]

Seriously, how is Paolo able to eat this much food all in one go?!?!

[mommymarine]

Your timing is impeccable. I'm on my way there in the morning.

[i.h.]

Getting away from the masses, introverts appreciate this. Would love to visit Kyoto. I've been thinking about it after watching Makanai

[JezzLundkvist]

Why do I always watch these videos at night when I can't cook. It looks so delicious! 🤤

[khoamai]

We found this place on our trip to Kyoto last year. Nick Stock was my favorite. good melt in your mouth.

[Devtox]

I live in Houston, TX and we just got our power back on 6 days after the eye of hurricane Beryl passed over our house and this is the first video I see to watch. I'm so dang happy! I love your channel ❤️ it's a good day.

[Pariya]

YES THE RETURN OF PAOLO'S FOOD TOURS! These videos were what got me hooked to this channel and incredibly useful for my holiday trips to Japan in the last 10 years or so!

[thomasji]

I haven't revisited Kyoto for more than a decade but now I want to go back and check it out again! Thank you for another awesome video, have a great weekend Paolo! 🤩

[someperson]

I love that they give you gloves with the tower burger. Such a simple idea, but pure genius.

[ingokummer]

Thank You for taking me with you to Japan . I cant Travel to Japan but with your Videos it’s Like a Little Trip Every Time . Don’t stop . Thank you so much . Cant wait for more to come

[OldGuyBeingAwkward]

Agreed with an earlier poster, this was impeccable timing with us being in Kyoto just 2 days after the video was uploaded. This food hall is amazing and has a great vibe to it. So good we went twice. Did the wagyu burger, gyoza, pancake and beef bowl. Highly recommend all of it, especially the beef bowl.

[Dude-etiquette]

I visited Japan for a holiday and loved it. I wish I had discovered this channel before I went, would’ve gone to all his recommendations

[tq]

When I went to Japan last june a couple of buddies and I visited Kyoto tower and we had lunch at Nick Stock. I gotta say those wagyu burgers are next level! I cant recommend it enough!

[otter-pro]

That Wagyu burger looks sooo In US, I've always heard "care-uh-mel". I think your original pronunciation was perfectly fine.

[michelletxmischief]

Just ate there a couple of weeks ago on my first trip to Japan. Great find! My friend had the burger with the gloves. 😂

[Hudson]

I didn't know the kyoto tower had such a wonderful place to have a nice meal. We just visited kyoto last month!

[scrubber]

Love your content man. New watcher here. Your personality is infectious, brightens our day :D

[stevep]

@13:29 I like the meaty side of things. Timing, again, perfect.

[Feljo]

I discovered maze soba and Abura soba in my 5th trip, had no idea about those dishes before and now they are my favorite ones.
