Nishiki Sushi Shin Main store

“We serve our finest Edomae-zushi (Tokyo-style sushi) over a counter made of a single piece of hinoki cypress wood,” they say.
“We purchase our sushi ingredients from all over Japan, especially fresh fish directly from the Sea of Japan, including Miyazu and Maizuru in Kyoto. For lunch, we offer not only sushi, but also sea bream chazuke (rice in a clear soup or tea) and fresh seafood chirashi-zushi, etc., which can be enjoyed casually. At night, we offer an omakase (“leave-it-to-us”) sushi course. Please enjoy the many kinds of sushi we offer. We carefully choose between red vinegar and white vinegar for each type of sushi.”

Maruya

Although the shop is located in Nishiki Market, the owner says that he is not particular about produce from Kyoto. "Since we are not in the business of selling wholesale to restaurants but just retailing, we think it's best to source new and inexpensive produce from nearby regions. We go to the wholesale market to choose producers who we feel are good, and we try to purchase produce from their farms."

Hosokawa

Hosokawa is a retailer offering clothing, hand towels, handkerchiefs, specially processed T-shirts, and even monpe (Japanese work pants). It is also the only store in Kyoto where you can buy food models. The well-made models for pudding, fruit parfait, and other foods are a marvel to look at.

Strawberrychoco Kyoto Nishiki Market

Only the finest varieties of strawberries are used, which are selected and purchased at the market every morning, and the chocolate is melted to match the variety of strawberry. The chocolate is melted in a special machine and flows like a waterfall from a faucet.
The chocolate is then boldly dipped into the strawberries in the cups.
The chocolate is always flowing from the faucet in front of the customer, making this sweet treat pleasing to the eye.

Nishiki Marun

Nishiki Marun is a shop where so many different kinds of “cuteness” gather, including cute confections and sundries, that it is impossible to describe it simply. To briefly introduce the merchandise sold in this colorful and bright store, it has colorful kompeito candy and Kyo-ame candy, original cookies made in the company's own facility, Kyoto-exclusive cosmetics, facial packs, perfumes, stick-on nails, and earrings with Japanese designs. There is also a large selection of Kyoto's local sake.

Chinami

“Originally, we sold dried foods such as kelp, but my parents started tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce and mirin), and we have become a specialty store of kelp and tsukudani,” says the owner of Chinami. “While using high-quality kelp to make traditional products, we are also promoting kelp for a new audience with our creative original tsukudani, represented by our signature product ‘Oyajinakase.’ We strive to maintain a balance between tradition and innovation while always remembering the tradition of kelp-using cuisine.”

Marutsune

“Even today, we stubbornly use a stone mortar to make our surimi fish paste,” they say. “With stainless steel, the material does not stick to the edge, but with a stone mortar, the material sticks to the edge, so you have to stir it many times to get the surimi to blend. Oddly enough, that's what makes it so good. In fact, there used to be several stores in Nishiki Market that made and sold fish pastes and fried fish cakes, but this store is now the only one. We make not only fish cakes for oden (vegetables and fish cakes cooked in dashi stock) and authentic kamaboko fish cakes, but also creative fried fish cakes.”
