Information of Shops

Hatanaka Shouten

Hatanaka Shouten was established 75 years ago. The current, third-generation owner of this family-run fish shop humbly says, “In Nishiki Market, where many stores are over 100 years old, we are still in the middle of the pack.” The shop offers fresh fish, sashimi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes. Currently, they are focusing on processed products that can be taken home, such as homemade ayu sweetfish with roe simmered in Japanese pepper, fish pickled in miso, heshiko fermented fish, and chirimen sansho (dried baby sardines with Japanese pepper).

Narutoya

Sushi and sashimi made from fresh tuna, sweet potato chips, and baked sweet potato brûlée are available.

Hashiya Mansaku

How many chopsticks are there? This store specializes in chopsticks and chopstick rests. Perhaps because of the image of Kyoto cuisine, chopsticks give a very Kyoto-like impression. Generally, most chopsticks are made of asunaro hinoki cypress, but here in Kyoto, where Nagaoka is a major bamboo production site, this shop has a full lineup of chopsticks and chopstick rests made of bamboo, as well as bamboo toothpicks and toothpick box sets.

Nishiki Murasaki

“The roots of this restaurant lie in an oshiruko (sweet bean soup) and noodle store started by my father around 1945. I am committed to delivering the best-tasting food by cherishing the spirit of dedication that was taught to me by my father,” says the owner of Nishiki Murasaki. Drawing on his own experience working at a confectionery store, he now focuses on peanuts, Kyoto sweets, and old-fashioned Japanese sweets. “Every morning we purchase the highest grade peanuts from Enshu (Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), which are freshly roasted, and only enough for that day's sales.”

Ajisai Notoyo

If you go up the stairs next to the Notoyo West Shop, you will find a machiya-style restaurant there. The time here passes slowly—a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of the marketplace. The eel is grilled carefully in the restaurant using binchotan charcoal, so the skin is crispy, and the taste of the special sauce made with a secret recipe is unbelievably delicious. Eel rice bowl, eel set meal, koi-no-arai (hot-water-washed and then cooled carp), and, on weekdays only, hitsumabushi (similar to eel teriyaki on rice) are available.

• Restaurant

Kaisen Hotate Center

Kaisen Hotate Center sells grilled seafood, skewers, seafood rice bowls, etc., mainly using fresh scallops. Please stop by.

• Restaurant(Scallop)

Tsunori

This shop has a long history. It was founded as a caterer in the late Edo period(1603-1867). After WWII, it became a fresh fish merchant, and now, with its ninth-generation owner, it is a fresh fish and charcoal grill shop. In addition to sashimi and fillets, the charcoal grill, which utilizes the facilities from the time when the shop was a caterer, is very popular. The sight of their lively grilling of sea bream, mackerel, yellowtail, saury, and other fish is sure to whet your appetite.

Nandaimon Nishiki branch

This restaurant is a hidden gem, tucked away a bit from the street of Nishiki Market. This is a Japanese beef steak restaurant operated by Nandaimon, a long-established yakiniku restaurant founded over 60 years ago. You can enjoy high-quality wagyu beef in a relaxed Japanese-style atmosphere. Only black wagyu beef is used. In particular, the fillets and sirloins are A5-grade Hirai beef from the Kyoto-Tanba-bokujo farm.

• Wagyu Steak

Sally’s kitchen

Sally’s Kitchen sells mainly fruit sandwiches and baked sweet potatoes. The fruit sandwiches are handmade right there and are simple, with as few additives as possible.
They make only a limited amount each day, so better go before they’re sold out.

• Sweets

Strawberrychoco Kyoto Nishiki Market

Only the finest varieties of strawberries are used, which are selected and purchased at the market every morning, and the chocolate is melted to match the variety of strawberry. The chocolate is melted in a special machine and flows like a waterfall from a faucet.
The chocolate is then boldly dipped into the strawberries in the cups.
The chocolate is always flowing from the faucet in front of the customer, making this sweet treat pleasing to the eye.
