In 2016, a pickle shop in Nishiki Market with a row of pickling barrels suddenly became a standing bar. At first, the place just offered Sawaya Matsumoto junmai sake, beer, and pickles, but the idea that a standing bar is a “ford on the seashore” brought in some crazy staff from all over the place, and now it is a bar where people from all over the country come to enjoy a drink. It is a very marketplace-like bar where creatures that have continued to evolve in their respective unique ways snuggle together and drink.

Ikemasa tei
Ikemasa-tei used to be a greengrocer famous for its ornamental vegetable carvings. It eventually began serving food in the back of the store and has now become a set meal restaurant during the day and an izakaya (Japanese style bar-restaurant) at night. You can enjoy Kyoto's home-style dishes, called obanzai, such as yuba soy milk skin with spinach, mizuna (Japanese mustard leaves) cooked with fried tofu skin, and steamed turnip with minced fish, at reasonable prices.

The restaurant's sign invites you to enter a narrow alleyway and into a quiet Kyoto machiya townhouse that makes you forget the bustle of the market. This was the native home of the owner's grandmother, who ran a kombu (kelp) shop until sometime before World War II. This is a lunch restaurant that focuses on Nishiki Market ingredients such as yuba (soy milk skin) and nama-fu (wheat gluten cakes), as well as vegetables from the Kyoto area. Their vegetarian dishes that do not use animal products are also recommended for the health-conscious.
