Maruya

Although the shop is located in Nishiki Market, the owner says that he is not particular about produce from Kyoto. "Since we are not in the business of selling wholesale to restaurants but just retailing, we think it's best to source new and inexpensive produce from nearby regions. We go to the wholesale market to choose producers who we feel are good, and we try to purchase produce from their farms."

Nishiki Takakuraya

Takakuraya’s owner stands by the notion that “Kyoto pickles are not salty.” Takakuraya’s lightly pickled Daifuku hakusai —a variety of Chinese cabbage with a yellow core—is pickled in a low-sodium kelp stock to preserve the flavor of the sweet core. The red-leafed daikon radish, Shizumurasaki, which is grown only by one farm in Kumiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, has a refined taste that spreads in the mouth.
