“Our restaurant, located in this market with 400 years of history, opened as a restaurant specializing in "motsu-ni" (simmered organ meats) so that artisans working in the market and visitors with their families can enjoy the true taste of motsu cuisine in a casual atmosphere. We create unique dishes within the context of Kyoto's traditional food culture.”

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.

Gomafukudo

The sight of staff grinding sesame seeds with a pestle and mortar at the storefront catches the eyes of people walking along Nishiki-koji Street. The entrance to the shop is filled with the delicious aroma of freshly ground sesame seeds. "Sesame seeds are supposed to be ground by pounding rather than rubbing the pestle over them," they say. "A bitter taste is inevitably produced when sesame seeds are ground by rubbing." This store specializes in sesame, offering a variety of sesame snacks and seasonings, its signature product being the pestle-pounded golden sesame seeds.

Yamadashiya

Whenever you pass by the shop, the aroma of hojicha (roasted tea), which the owner roasts day in and day out, invites you to come in. In Kyoto, hojicha is called “bancha.” The "ban" in "bancha" is the same as the "ban" in "obanzai" (home cooking), meaning "for daily use," so there is a theory that "bancha" was originally called as such because it was a tea commonly drunk in the home.

Kyotanba

The demonstration sales in the storefront will make you stop in your tracks. Kyotanba sells mainly roasted chestnuts and other products from Tanba, an area northwest of Kyoto City famous for its agricultural produce, and its signature product, "Yakipon," is made with an improved version of the old-fashioned grain-puffing machine, using only carefully selected chestnuts, and roasted to a fragrant, sweet flavor. It is healthy because it is additive-free, maintaining the natural flavor. The chestnuts can be easily removed from their shells. Please enjoy the full flavor of the natural chestnuts.

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.
