On Google, I found Kimura Sengyo-ten. They had abalone priced at 1500 yen, ranging from 1300 to 2000 yen. They served live seafood for sashimi, so when you try to pick it up with chopsticks, it moves a little! There is a 50 yen charge for cooked dishes. At first, they seemed a bit unfriendly, but they were actually very friendly and attentive while we were eating. They provide cold water on the table, as well as a pot of hot tea and tea cups. Beer is available in cans for 350 yen, with Kirin and Asahi options. I noticed that there are more foreign and Asian customers coming in as well.

Cheap and delicious fresh fish with no fishy smell can be enjoyed at this shop. While walking around Nishiki Market, I came across some delicious looking sea urchin and decided to buy it! The staff were friendly and guided me to a seat at the back of the shop. The interior of the shop was a bit dirty. The sea urchin cost ¥700 and came in a shell, making it look very appealing. Given that sea urchin can be hit or miss, I thought it was worth trying for 700 yen. To my surprise, it was delicious with no fishy smell and had a sweet taste. It was so good that I wanted to have another one. It's cheap and tasty, so I highly recommend it! I will definitely come back to eat it again when I visit Kyoto next time. The fatty tuna belly for ¥500 was also a great deal - being able to enjoy fresh fish for just a coin is very attractive. I visited the shop in March 2023 at 5:00 PM on a holiday.

The oysters here were incredibly delicious. They were a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. They were one of the best oysters I've ever had, rivaling a 1.2 out of 10 in taste. The restaurant had a casual vibe, but that added to the experience. My dining companion enjoyed their tuna as well. I will definitely visit again if I'm in the area. Thank you for the meal.

I love sashimi and sake so much (｢･ω･)｢lol I saw this place on Instagram and had to check it out right away~★ It's a fish market near Nishiki Market, with a small seating area for about 4 groups. The atmosphere inside is really nice!! lol You can enjoy sashimi for around 300 yen each, and they also sell skewers for eating on the go♪ ・Oyster - around 500 yen ・Tuna offcuts - 350 yen ・Horse mackerel - 300 yen The sashimi is super fresh!! It's high quality and cheaper than buying from a supermarket♪ I love squeezing a big lemon over the oysters and eating them in one bite~(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) I felt like having some sake but I know once I start, I won't stop, so I stuck with beer lol I recommend this place to tourists too, it's definitely worth stopping by for some delicious and affordable sashimi(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) Thank you for the meal★

A few years ago, I had salmon carpaccio with relatives and felt nostalgic, so I decided to go alone this time! I ordered salmon, oysters, and sea urchin. A luxurious plate... I also had a highball and enjoyed myself mingling with tourists as a single woman. The oysters and sea urchin were delicious as expected, but my favorite was still the salmon carpaccio. It was firm and tasty. I'll definitely come back for a treat after a long day at work. The staff, both the guys and girls, were friendly and efficient, which made the experience even better!

Strolling around Nishiki Market in the daytime is enjoyable just by itself. There are so many different foods to try that you'll end up with a full stomach in no time. Since there are few places selling alcohol, it's a good idea to buy some canned beer at a convenience store beforehand. There are plenty of snacks to munch on as you walk around. You can also enjoy fresh seafood and oysters right on the spot! The oysters are so fresh and delicious!

Whenever I come to Nishiki Market, I always visit a certain store. That store is Kimura Fresh Fish. They have a wide variety of fresh seafood displayed, which is enjoyable just to look at. The place is always crowded with tourists. On this day, I chose some large oysters and abalone. It's rare to see oysters this big. They were fresh and very delicious. It's fun just to think about what to order next.

Nishiki Market is full of foreign tourists, just like many other tourist spots these days. Among the market stalls, there is a fishmonger selling fresh seafood as well as ready-to-eat seafood dishes like octopus sashimi, shirako, and crab. I chose the fresh fish skewers, which included raw tuna and toro salmon prepared as carpaccio or marinated and skewered. I picked "Raw Tuna Carpaccio" and "Marinated Toro Salmon" for 250 yen each. The staff asked if I needed soy sauce or lemon juice. I opted for lemon juice on the carpaccio. Since eating while walking is not allowed in Nishiki Market, I moved to the outskirts to enjoy my skewers. Each skewer had three large pieces of fish, and the freshness was top-notch. The tuna had some sinewy parts, but the lemon added a refreshing touch. The salmon was rich and velvety, with the carpaccio being my favorite. In season, you can also enjoy freshly shucked oysters on the spot. With affordable prices and fresh seafood, it's no wonder why Nishiki Market is popular among foreign visitors.

At Nishiki Market in Kyoto, I saw a fishmonger just display some fatty tuna! It looks delicious and affordable! My friend is eager to eat it. Fatty tuna 700 yen (tax included), Large sea urchin 700 yen (tax included), Sea bream white roe (boiled) 350 yen (tax included). It seems like you can eat at the back of the store. When I said I wanted to eat there, they put the purchased items on a plastic plate. But where is the table? Oh, they use random things like styrofoam as tables, how interesting! But the lady kindly brought a fragile-looking table. As for the taste, sea urchin was okay, but the fatty tuna was delicious. However, for those who are very particular about cleanliness, eating at the store might be challenging! Bon appétit!

With GW as the occasion, I decided to visit the Shijo-Karasuma area in Kyoto. The place is well-known to everyone! Nishiki Market! It is a very famous market nationwide, no, worldwide. There were so many foreign visitors, more than half of the people I saw were foreigners. The shops in the market have a traditional and Japanese-style exterior, which creates a strange sensation. Now, my destination for today is this shop. The target is "sea bream shirako." I saw an article on the internet about a favorite dish of a certain foreign athlete, and I couldn't resist the temptation to try it myself. I arrived at the shop front at 5:45 PM. The closing time was 6 PM, so it was a close call, but there were so many people. It was overflowing, indeed. However, when I looked at the products lined up in front of the shop, I confirmed the existence of "sea bream shirako." At that point, I felt relieved and thought "Great!" But... there was a signboard in front of the shop with instructions like "① When lining up, start from the right side of the shop to the left side" and "② Any staff member can take your order." They had written it in English as well to make it understandable for foreign visitors. However, with such a crowd, it seemed like the rules were not well understood. I lined up from the right side, but my turn did not come easily... and before I knew it, the "sea bream shirako" was sold out right in front of my eyes... "Oh no, if only I had come a little earlier..." However, there's no use crying over spilled milk, so I switched gears and considered something else. It seemed like the most popular item at this shop was "fatty salmon carpaccio" (250 yen for one). Three large slices of salmon on a skewer. Hmm, this looks delicious. In addition, I decided to try the "anglerfish liver ponzu" (350 yen). I love anglerfish liver, so I chose this as well. After a while, the staff member who took my order was a friendly lady on the left side of the shop facing the front. She was very polite and friendly despite being busy. I felt her depth of kindness. Thanks to her, my disappointment eased a bit. Thank you. Now, I received my order and moved to the eat-in space on the right side facing the front of the shop. It was very crowded, so I quickly started eating. First, I took a bite of the salmon on the skewer... Wow! This is delicious!! The first thing I noticed was the firm texture. It's powerful! It's called "carpaccio," so there is lemon juice on it, but the acidity was milder than I expected. However, the flavor of the salmon stands out even more. It was lively and full of flavor, also powerful! I eat salmon often, but it's rare to find something with such firmness and flavor. And for three pieces at 250 yen? That's cheap... Next is the anglerfish liver. There was also plenty of it. It had no unpleasant taste, and I could sense its freshness. It was packed with the rich umami unique to anglerfish liver, and it's addictive. With this much for 350 yen? That's cheap... I couldn't get my hands on the "sea bream shirako," but the satisfaction exceeded my expectations. The container may look simple, but the taste is top-notch. It's wonderful. Oh, I'm glad I came. I would definitely like to visit again and this time, get the "sea bream shirako"!

It was a lively and wonderful shop! The fatty texture of the toro salmon was amazing! The staff recommended squeezing lemon on it, and when I tried it, the deliciousness doubled! Despite being busy during lunchtime with many foreign tourists, the staff were all very kind and attentive to each customer. I will definitely go back!

The place was crowded and standing-room only, so I failed to take photos of the dishes, but the mountain of tuna sashimi was delicious. Many people were enjoying assorted sashimi platters, and surprisingly, there were quite a few solo female diners. Most people seemed to be quickly enjoying dishes like cod milt on their own.

I used a coupon and had sashimi and wine! It was so delicious! (,,•﹏•,,)

When you order the raw octopus carpaccio for 250 yen, they will squeeze lemon on it for you.

Nishiki Market, food hopping. The salmon carpaccio is always delicious no matter when you eat it!

The oysters were big but I could only eat a little bit... I guess I'm not good with fresh seafood after all.
