Kyoto’s 400-year-old street food paradise 🇯🇵🔥

All right, guys. We’re entering the 400-year-old market. Nishiki. Let’s go. Nishiki Market, or Kyoto’s Kitchen, as the locals call it, is a 400-year-old street market dating way back to the 1600s, just as a little fish market. One of the coolest parts of this market’s history is about how they kept the fish fresh back in the day. It’s all thanks to the super clean spring water of Kyoto. Cold, crisp, and pure. Vendors would use it to rinse and cool the fish all day. It was like having a natural refrigerator. And here it is over 400 years later, still thriving with over a 100 places to eat. We chose a sushi place that had American baseball playing in the back of the restaurant. Baseball is one of Japan’s most popular sports. Shoi Otani is a once in a generation talent. Born in Japan, he’s both a dominant pitcher and a powerful batter. It’s almost unheard of for a player to play both position nowadays. He’s one of the highest paid players in sports history. And more on that, he’s an icon, a symbol of Japan. This is right now the best show in sports and the thing you don’t want to miss. Look at these little bubbles. They’re so good. It’s my favorite type of sushi. My favorite kind. Oh my god. They actually melt in your mouth. That’s so real.
