Living in Kyoto, and I will be traveling to Tokyo next week. Someone who has lived in Japan for the last 5 years is going to host me, so I thought I could a bring a small souvenir or gift from here as a token of gratitude, but I don't really know what could be special that you can't easily get Tokyo? I thought of an ema or something to have breakfast?
Edit: for clarity.

Just a heads up, this is the KYOTO sub. But to answer your question, if you’re American and they like sweets then bringing some of their favorite cereal might be a hit. Otherwise, over-the-counter painkillers are much stronger in the US than they are here, so it might be a good will gesture to bring some of those as well.
These are just the things that I want if someone was visiting me!
Matcha/Matcha related goods (male branche etc) is the go-to omiyage
I was going to jump in and make random recs for when I visit friends in Tokyo (from Kyoto) but I saw the first comment and then read the description.
REESES PIECES
Through a very boring history of trade of peanut butter based goods – you can’t go wrong bringing Reese’s pieces
Something to eat that’s made in Kyoto
