Information of Shops

KAI

This shop specializes in furikake (a condiment to sprinkle on rice), delicacies, and snacks. The front of this store is different from other stores in that it is set up like a counter, where products are lined up in rows. Almost all of the products on display are available for tasting. It is fun to listen to the explanations given by the staff while trying various products.

• Delicacies, Furikake

Azumaya

The owner's desire to "cherish the atmosphere of Nishiki Market" can be felt in the plaster walls and the interior using lots of wood. The shop is passionate about sourcing sweets produced in Kyoto and sells cute sweets in small portions, making it a fun experience to shop there. It is exciting just to look at the kohaku-to (confection of brightly colored, melted agar-agar), which are like jewels that you can eat. Their lineup of dry confections made with wasanbon sugar changes with the seasons.

• Old-fashioned sweets, Miso

Notoyo

This is a shop specializing in river fish, of which there are only a few in Kyoto and only three in Nishiki Market. The products lined up in the store are fileted, cut into chunks, and cooked in large pots in the back of the store, where they also prepare products for wholesale delivery to kaiseki restaurants.

• River Fish
