It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

Fun way to experience the market and try some new foods. Having visited markets in Tokyo and Osaka prior, we didn’t expect to be surprised but our guide catered the tour to our taste/experience and we had a great time.

We did the Kyoto Nishiki Market tour and had a great time thanks to our local guide Micky who was very adept at navigating the crowded market. Lots of food to both look at and taste ending with a wonderful bento lunch at a tiny restaurant just off the market. We would highly recommend doing a tour over going it alone.
