Nishiki Food Market, Kyoto

For over 400 years this 400 meter-long covered indoor market has been the destination of Kyoto foodies....and I can see why!  I didn't know so many types of small eatable marine organisms existed. For your viewing pleasure, we'll start with the very best.....octopops!  I'd like to see Anthony Bourdain eat one of these puppies.

"How about trying this? Delicious, a quail egg is in the head of the octopus."  (click to enlarge to fully appreciate their juicy looking deliciousness)


more octopops...


lots of small seafoody things...


lots of live seafoody things in buckets....


a cool refreshing pickle pop?


many tables of vegetables (?) slathered in soy paste (?).....


dehydrated in many forms.... 


 
beef buns -- Kyoto's answer to the hamburger?


the Market....


halfway through an earlier meal.....glad I didn't have to do the dishes.
