Yamaichi

Founded in the late Edo period (1603-1867), Yamaichi is one of the ten oldest shops in Nishiki Market.
“We continue to serve traditional, delicious, seasonal dishes such as our grilled hamo (pike conger eel), which is made by a special cutting technique using high-quality hamo from the Seto Inland Sea and immediately grilling it with our homemade sauce, and our dried codfish rehydrated in the groundwater of Nishiki Market, keeping the flavors of the good old days,” the owner says.

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.”

Sankyo Suisan

The company was founded in Osaka's central market. During the war, the owner returned to Kyoto, his grandfather's birthplace, and opened a store in Nishiki Market. Sankyo Suisan wholesales and retails dried swordtip squid, which has been its main product since its Osaka days, as well as salted and dried seafood such as cod roe and chirimen baby sardines, and delicacies such as karasumi (dried salted mullet roe pouch) and konoko (fermented salted sea cucumber intestines). They continue to focus on delivering delicious domestic seafood at affordable prices.

Kikuya

As one would expect from a Nishiki Market delicacy store, Kikuya has shelves after shelves of unique foods. There are many rare items, and even just looking through the shelves and refrigerators is exciting. There are more than 400 items. Not only are there seafood delicacies, such as karasumi (dried salted mullet roe pouch) and sea urchin, but also frozen foods, ingredients for tea ceremonies, nuts, dried fruits, etc. You will find a wide range of rare and tasty products. Kikuya is not only a shop with a wide variety of snacks that go well with drinks. It is also a shop that supports the growing appreciation of Kyoto’s cuisine.

Nomura Tsukudani

Nomura Tsukudani has an ample selection—about 100 kinds!—of tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce). There are also products sold by weight for home use. Nomura Tsukudani has inherited the tradition of carefully making various products little by little since their early days when they were a delicatessen, which was still rare at the time.

KAI

This shop specializes in furikake (a condiment to sprinkle on rice), delicacies, and snacks. The front of this store is different from other stores in that it is set up like a counter, where products are lined up in rows. Almost all of the products on display are available for tasting. It is fun to listen to the explanations given by the staff while trying various products.
