Yakitori Torisho

We specialize in yakitori, which is carefully grilled over charcoal. Larger than usual yakitori are grilled over high heat using carefully selected charcoal for an aromatic flavor. A wide range of dishes are available, from the popular tare-yaki (grilled chicken with sauce) to wasabi, ume plum, and tsukune with mozzarella cheese, and can be ordered from a single piece. Please enjoy our specialty yakitori in the restaurant where the aroma of charcoal grills wafts in the air.

Tachinomidokoro Gabana

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.

Tako to Highball

When takoyaki meets “highball,”
you get this great shop
that is cheap, delicious, and fun!!
Their takoyaki (round ball of savory dough with octopus) is so tasty!
The fluffy,
hot takoyaki melting in your mouth with the thick sauce bursting with flavor is irresistible.
And you can drain it down with a “highball” (whiskey-and-soda)!
Please visit our Nishiki Market Store!

Hamohide Nishiki Market main store

The owner, who was born into a family running a fish shop in Nishiki Market, known as “the kitchen of Kyoto,” became independent and opened Hamohide in 2017. “Though it was a hamo (pike conger eel) shop, the prawns started to sell well!” he says.
Shrimp, prawn, and prawn skewers with their bright red colors are lined up at the front of the shop.

Nishiki Gyoza

Nishiki Gyoza aims to make customers smile with their tasty gyoza.
Their gyoza (Chinese-style dumplings popular in Japan) feature hearty, tightly packed filling. This was born from the personal touch of the chef Ryota Fujioka.
“I made it as a token of my appreciation to cheer up the staff at my own restaurant, and these dumplings with more filling than usual made them smile.”
Fujioka’s experience led him to further pursue gyoza, and he finally opened Nishiki Gyoza. “I want to make customers smile with my gyoza.” Fujioka’s new endeavor to pursue perfection with gyoza begins here in Nishiki Market, Kyoto.
