Ingredients & Seasonings
Japanese sweets

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.

As a remnant from when it used to be a deli, the shop still sells white miso, an essential ingredient in Kyoto cuisine. This miso is from Ishino Miso, a long-established company that has been in business since the Edo period (1603-1868). Azumaya often ships this miso to regular customers in other parts of Japan.

Old-fashioned sweets and seasonings such as white miso. At the heart of their lineup is their love for Kyoto.

This store focuses on selecting and stocking products that are made in Kyoto.
