10 Kyoto Food Spots We Almost Didn’t Share
Kyoto is one of our favorite cities in Japan, and every time we visit, we seem to discover something new.
Over the years, we’ve found some wonderful food spots, sometimes by accident, sometimes through recommendations from friends and locals.
Today, we’re sharing 10 places that have become some of our personal favorites. These aren’t just places with great food. They’re places where we’ve had wonderful experiences and met people who truly care about what they do.
Some of these places are so special that we almost wanted to keep them to ourselves!
From small local shops to unique dining experiences, we hope this video gives you a few new ideas for your next trip to Kyoto.
Let us know which place you’d love to visit!

Thanks TabiEats ❤😊
Oh so much good food! We love Kyoto but yes you two are really in the hidden local spots that we have never been to. I can't wait to visit again! Thank you for the yummy food recommendations! Aloha =)
Thank you guys . You're giving me so many ideas for my solo end of year trip and family trip in May . I'm so excited to try your favourites .
I love your hidden and beloved eating places! 💜♥️💜
Great video guys! Looking great as always! I love your energy here. You always cheer me up or make me laugh with every video! I know times are so weird and tough, but just remember to love one another and do what you can to do what you love!
I adore seeing lesser known places, and I agree that I would hate for them to be overrun. Still, I think one of the best ways to visit a place like Kyoto is to try a few noted places, but mostly explore and find new, less known places. That's how yu find hidden gems not in the tourist books!
Ah, the Semmel. Like in Germany – Bavaria ❤
WOW! All great looking restaurant that would make me want to go to Kyoto! I usually stay away from Kyoto seeing all the tourist there but these restaurants look absolutely delicious!
How generous to share these special places with us. Arigatou gozaimasu! 🙏
京都は一番好きなcityかも知れないですね🌸thank you for a wonderful video🩷
We enjoyed showing you guys some of our favorite spots in Kyoto!
It’s always great to see the Nest beers from Hitachino. Years ago, I worked in craft beer sales, and the Nest beers were always fun to sell !
Thank you both for the gift of your special places. Hidden gems like these really give one the true flavor of a place. When I traveled, that's what I wanted to experience–local people and local culture. 💜💜
I love following you guys around Japan. I have a suggestion tho. Maybe invest in lapel (lavalier?) microphones. The kind that cancel out background noise so that we only hear your voices. Sometimes these locations are very noisy and it is distracting and hard to hear you. The chairs and table legs scraping behind you at the sushi place was painful. 😬 ❤ you guys!
The ham and onion sandwich looks so very good. The tea shop is amazing. I have a friend Michigan who would love that place; she'd think she were in Heaven!
Great video! There is a very traditional sushi-ya called Suehiro on Teramachi that I think you guys would love. It is like stepping back into the Showa era inside, and it has some really great pressed sushi and complimentary sushi rolls. I usually get the pressed anago and a tamago roll, but along with the Kyoto style they also have Edo style if you're in that mood. Oishii!
Coffee in an incense shop I need it in my life 😌
Thank you for sharing those special places.
oh i went to sanga on the way to other incense stores and didn't relise you could go in further & that they had drinks!
i've been watching your channel for years now and i've been to kyoto so many times but after watching this video i have so many new places to check out! thanks very much!
❤❤
