Kyoto: Nishiki Market Food Tour-7 Tastings

Very good food tour

My wife and 2 teenage kids had a great experience on this food tour. Takuma was very knowledgeable and kind. You better come hungry for this one. There was so much food included in the tour no one left hungry. It was also nice having a guide for this tour due to the fact that there were some different rules in this market than other we have been to before. One was that you were supposed to eat inside the area where you purchased the food.
