Kyoto Nishiki Market: 8-10 Tastings, 90 Min, Kyoto Local
Most travelers walk Kyoto's 400-year-old kitchen guessing at signboards.

In 90 minutes through Nishiki Market, we taste our way through eight to ten carefully chosen bites — yuba, Kyoto dashi-maki, hamo tempura, wagyu skewers, sansho pickles, a seasonal sweet, matcha gelato, and a few more your guide picks for the day. We start at 10 AM, before the noon crush turns the alley to a standstill. Small group of 8, English-speaking Kyoto local, stand-and-eat etiquette included. Highlights: ・8-10 hand-picked tastings in Kyoto's 400-year-old market kitchen ・Yuba, hamo tempura, dashi-maki, wagyu, sansho pickles & a seasonal sweet ・Visit before the noon rush ・Small group (max 8), English-speaking Kyoto local guide ・Photo support & shopkeeper introductions throughout

Kyoto: Umeshu (Japanese plum wine) Craft & Pickles Experience
Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s preservation culture through a private experience beyond a simple “Japanese plum wine workshop.” While umeshu is often translated as Japanese plum wine, the Japanese ume fruit differs from Western plums—more aromatic, tart, and rooted in seasonal traditions. In collaboration with CHOYA UME STUDIO Kyoto Sanjo, you will craft your own umeshu (or non-alcoholic ume syrup), tasting different ume varieties, sugars, and base liqueurs to create a personalized blend. Unlike wine, umeshu is steeped and matured—an expression of patience central to Japanese food culture. What sets this tour apart is the pairing experience at Nishiki Market, “Kyoto’s Kitchen.” You will explore traditional pickling techniques—salted and lactic-fermented vegetables—and select flavors that best complement your handcrafted umeshu once it matures at home. More than a tasting, this experience offers insight into ume, Kyoto’s pickling heritage, and the art of preserving seasonality.
