Japanese STREET FOOD in Kyoto!! Nishiki Market & High-End KAISEKI in Japan!

Today we're in the ancient capital of Japan : Kyoto!! Known for it's beautiful temples, we're here to deep dive into Kyoto's food scene. Starting thing's off at Kyoto's Kitchen : the Nishiki Market. Over 1000 year's old, Nishiki Market is the one-stop-shop for all your Japanese street food needs in Kyoto.

After our tour of the famous market we take you to the stunningly beautiful Ryoan-ji Temple. Even more stunning to visit during fall! Located within the grounds of Ryoan-ji is a similarly picturesque Buddhist vegetarian restaurant specializing in tofu hotpot.

Any food lover's trip to Kyoto is not complete without sampling the iconic Kaiseki. A seasonal menu selected by the chef featuring high end ingredients. We sat down at the 1 Michelin star Kinobu restaurant in the heart of Kyoto for a multi-course experience!

At the temple floor dining experience I laughed so hard at the leg amputation comment! 🤣 21:31

Wow! This is one of my favorites, of your videos.
⛩ Japan is the number 1 item, on my Bucket List.
Being 100% Japanese blood, it’s definitely a must, for me.

Spicy Icecream feels very novel, I really want to try it!
Eggs in squid are so special, the Japanese there are so creative!
Every corner of Ryoan-ji looks like a postcard, so beautiful and zen-like!
Kaiseki is simply the pinnacle of art, every dish is very exquisite, I love it!
I never thought that Japanese desserts could be so attractive.

You made me nostalgic, I have been so many times to Japan and love everything about Japan, if you go to Narita visit kikuya Restaurant near the temple, it is an small restaurant over 350 years old, the Ishibashi family has had many generations running it. They are like family to us. Food is delicious and super fresh, you will love it . I live in Vancouver where are you guys from ?

You are very successful Luke, congratulations, keep it up.👍🏻👏

In the 80's, my mother and I spent a month traveling through Hong Kong, China and Japan. I was in culinary heaven. My elderly mom found that most dishes had a spice, or something that she just didn't like. The tour guides would gather near our table so that they could "help" her finish her meals. Despite this, we had a wonderful time.

Aww man I missed you by about 1 week 😂. I was there in Kyoto for the first time and watching this gave me memories and vibes. Miss Japan

[perdomot]

Planning on going back to Kyoto next year and can't wait. Went there for the first time in 2010 and had yudofu at a restaurant by Nanzenji temple called Junsei. They also had a lovely garden to look at while eating.

[brutaltruth]

many new YouTubers doing Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto content especially “post” covid travel….. watching repetitive content takes away that ‘Japan Magical feeling’….i go Japan every year since 2010 except during their lockdowns.. was there earlier this year when they reopened but just didn’t feel as special anymore… heck even Ichiran taste average now

As travel content creator perhaps this channel needs to follow the Legend Weins and do more on the unbeaten path to keep it fresh

Enjoyed the episode, it brought back great memories. It was a pleasure bumping into you in Nishiki Market. My wife still wants to know if your hot sauce has been released yet ;) Cheers Steve
