    I will be visiting Kyoto in June and I’d like to know if there are certain places where to buy suribachi and/or wooden drop lids.

    P.S. Isn’t sweetfish in season during early summer? If anyone would be so kind and name a few restaurants where one could get good sweetfish.

    Thanks

    Hello Kiivi,

    Suribachi & Wooden Drop Lids

    These items are available most anywhere in Japan. You could try Nishiki Market, but that is more for food stuffs and a bit pricy. For an adventure, check out the Kyoto Wholesale Food Market. The West and Southish side of the market has a number of shops and stores that sell cooking utensils and so on. (Best to go in the morning as the shops are pretty much closed by lunchtime.)

    Sweetfish

    Sweetfish are in season in early summer. Most fish restaurants serve them. There is one that I like in Nishiki Market, it is an old fishmonger that recently opened a very nice fish restaurant back behind their store. The name escapes me at the moment but I will get it for you and post it here in a few days.

    Do you know about sweetfish confection? They are one of my favorites! Check out the article below.
