6. Fumiya Nishiki is an udon restaurant that has been loved for over 50 years.

[Fumiya is well known in Kyoto for its udon noodles, but when it was first established, it started out as a sweet shop. The reason why the restaurant has been loved for more than 50 years is that it has kept its motto of sparing no expense in ingredients and time and effort. Although there is inevitably a long line at lunchtime, you must visit the restaurant to enjoy the deliciousness of this dish.

8. Hot taiyaki and butter are the best match [Nishiki Ichiyo]

Nishiki Ichiyo, which specializes in Uji tea, is a daily bustling place in Nishiki Market. The store sells round taiyakis, created in collaboration with Mamemono Taiyaki, a popular store in Arashiyama. The most popular taiyaki, with an an-butter filling, has a shelf life of only one minute. The reason for this is that they want customers to eat the taiyaki before the butter between the taiyaki melts. The store also offers a set menu that includes the taiyaki and a green tea or other beverage, so be sure to check it out.
