Wander Fushimi, Kyoto's sake-brewing district — quiet, local and completely unlike central Kyoto
Step off the tourist trail and explore Fushimi Otesuji Shopping Arcade, a lively local arcade filled with historic shops and everyday eateries. Located just south of central Kyoto, this area offers a side of Kyoto that many visitors miss.
Led by an expert local food guide, you'll explore the neighborhood while sampling a range of classic Japanese dishes, each with its own cultural background. While stops may vary slightly depending on the day, guests typically enjoy:
-
Taiyaki – the fish-shaped pastry, filled with anything from classic custard to bacon-and-egg
-
Karaage – crispy Japanese fried chicken, tossed in a garlic-sesame sauce
-
Kare pan (curry bread) – soft bread filled with rich Japanese curry
-
Izakaya-style meats – yakitori, wagyu beef, and charcoal chicken
-
Matcha sweets – a Kyoto staple, with the option to make your own matcha or green tea with an expert instructor [after 5:15 pm]
-
Takoyaki – Osaka's famous octopus balls
As you eat your way through the tour, you'll learn about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind each dish. Between stops, you'll take in the atmosphere of Kyoto's historic streets and local food culture, discovering why locals, not tourists, are the ones eating here.
