Being there
Go before noon and graze: rolled omelette, soy-milk doughnuts, pickles. Many shops close by five.
The story
Kyoto people call it the city's kitchen. The long narrow street is lined with shops selling fish, vegetables and pickles, some run by the same family for generations. Restaurant chefs come here early to choose the day's ingredients.
