Long time Kansai resident Kevin Riley and I

Many shops have been operating for centuries

with the first shop reported to have opened in 1710

It's a street food paradise with a huge variety

It's best to arrive before noon if you don't want to fight the crowds

He's found something unique at this UNAGI shop

is packed with vitamins, iron and calcium.

There are several UNAGI shops in Nishiki Ichiba

So these are Tofu donuts, they put brown sugar and Kinako on it. Looks really good.

It's fresh, it's hot, it came right out of the oil

For volume and taste, this is a real bargain

He followed his nose to a traditional Matcha Green Tea shop

Kyoto's Uji Matcha is considered one of the best in Japan

Look at that freshly ground macha powder on that mochi

Usually we eat Warabi Mochi with a different kind of powder on it,

Different taste, but tastes like Warabi Mochi

Not so much elsewhere because there are so many little bones in them.

These eel are said to give the eater more power

because they can live in real tough conditions.

but the shop let me sit in the back to sample it.

400yen is a low price to pay for a Kyoto delicacy.

It really doesn't have that much flavor, though.

At one end of the market was this place selling something very curious looking.

They are baby octopi...and  they look, well, I guess delicious.

There is a whole colony of octopi to choose from.

and inside the head, there is a surprise.

What's strange about this is that you're eating the whole body.

and gives you an image of that you're eating a creature from the deep.

I have no idea how they got the little egg in the head.
