Kyoto Food Tour You WISH You Took 🇯🇵 Ramen, Mochi & Hidden Gems
If you’re wondering what to eat in Kyoto, this is the ultimate Kyoto food tour you wish you took.
We’re eating our way through Kyoto, Japan starting inside the immersive “Future Train” dining experience, where neon lights, interactive screens, and multi-course dishes turn dinner into a full production.
Then things get hands-on at a Kyoto ramen cooking class, where we make our own ramen from scratch, kneading the dough, torching the toppings, and building our own bowls.
But we didn’t stop there.
In this Kyoto food tour we also explore:
• Authentic ramen at two incredible local spots
• Fresh sushi in the heart of the city
• Matcha in Uji : the green tea capital of Japan
• A hidden local bakery
• Traditional mochi pounding in Gion (and yes… we tried it)
• A quick walkthrough of Nishiki Market
From futuristic dining to traditional Japanese sweets, this is everything you need to know about what to eat in Kyoto.
If you’re planning a trip to Japan and looking for the best food in Kyoto, this guide covers ramen, sushi, matcha, street food, and local favorites all in one epic day.
