MUSLIM HALAL JAPANESE STREET FOOD TOUR IN KYOTO - Mochi, Nishiki Market & Fushimi Inari Shrine

Asslamu Alikom - Greetings of Peace everyone! We hope you enjoy our japan travel vlog about our day trip to try some of the amazing street food in Kyoto Japan.
Top Things to do in Kyoto:
1) Visit the temples!
2) Arashiyama park
3) Tea Ceremony
4) Nishiki Market
5) Gion District/Pontocho
We started the day very early in Osaka and we took the JR Shinkansen Rapid train from Shin Osaka to Kyoto station which took about 15-20 minutes.
The first place stop on our japanese vlog tour was the Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社) where we got to spend some time eating and shopping while discovering the beautiful scenery around the shrine. The shrine is located on a mountain so its a great opportunity to hike and see the amazing colorful Torii Gates that run up the mountain. This place has a lot of tourists and is very popular when visiting kyoto Japan. The shrine is famous for its thousands of Torii gates.
After we rested a bit and headed to a tea ceremony at a place called Tea Ceremony En in Kyoto. This was a great experience that was perfect for a hectic and busy day. The tea ceremony allows you to see how important this is and how it shaped japanese culture. The hostess shows you how they would host guests in the past and make the green matcha tea in a beautiful relaxing manner. Definitely a great way to relax in Kyoto.
After the Tea ceremony, we got hungry and we wanted to eat lunch so we stopped by a popular area called Pontocho Alley district which is close to Gion and Nishiki market. This area is beautiful, with the Kyoto river behind it and all these old unique buildings serving amazing japanese food. Great place for lunch! The Japanese restaurant we went to served us a great sushi and sashimi bowl lunch. We also got to try the Kyoto speciality of yuba - tofu skin which was delicious. We also tried Chawan Mushi which is an egg custard soup that was really tasty.
We headed to Gion district to try the famous Matcha green tea ice cream! It is a must when visiting Kyoto to try the Matcha desserts, they have the best matcha desserts and mochi! At Gion, we got to see how life was like in old Japan and see the beautiful architecture of Kyoto as well as see a real Geisha!
Geisha's are everywhere but are very hard to spot in the Gion district so keep your eye out!
Finally we headed to Nishiki market to buy souvenirs and try the local produce of Kyoto. Nishiki Market (錦市場, Nishiki Ichiba) is a very narrow market with five blocks of food stalls to choose from! You can try so many unique Japanese foods such as Mochi, Tofu donuts, Senbei, octupus skewers, different pickled japanese vegetables, sashimi skewers, and "ten" fish cakes. We tried the fish cake that has quail eggs and they were delicious. We also tried the mochi and tofu donuts that were amazing and tasty.
Kyoto is such a beautiful and historic old city that is a must when visiting Japan. The people are kind and the city is very unique and feels like home even if you are not from Japan.
