Kawaichi
“I can't introduce something I haven't eaten,” the owner says. He makes sure to eat the produce he sells to become knowledgeable about it. Conversation at the storefront, the point of contact between people, is the crux of this kind of business, so the owner makes sure to have a knowledgeable person standing in the shop. He says that the staff in the storefront will always be a personable veteran greengrocer, so people should feel free to ask any questions they may have.

Kawamasa
It is said that the store name was changed to "Kawamasa" in 1922, a few years after its establishment as a green grocer in Nishiki Market. This means that the store has been around for a century. They have been providing fresh fruits and vegetables every day to a wide range of customers from famous ryokan and ryotei (traditional Japanese-style restaurants) to the general public. They purchase the day's recommendations from Kyoto's central market and growers every day, carefully discerning the freshness of each item.
