Here is a brief introduction of what you will find in Kyoichiya. Wakasa guji (tilefish), sasa-karei (flatfish), red snapper pickled with bamboo grass leaves, salmon collar, premium chirimen-jako (dried baby sardines), karasumi (dried salted mullet roe pouch), whale bacon, saikyo-zuke pickled fish (Spanish mackerel, flounder, or sablefish), and dried herring. The store has been in business in Nishiki Market since the 1920s and offers a wide selection of salted-and-dried fish, dried fish, and delicacies.
The chirimen zansho (dried baby sardines seasoned with Japanese sansho pepper) is handmade by the second-generation owner. A year’s worth of Japanese pepper is boiled with salt in the spring and preserved, and the chirimen zansho is cooked with zero additives or preservatives. The owner says the trick lies in her way of drying it afterwards.
