Fuka

The history of the main shop of Fuka, which manufactures and sells nama-fu (Nama-fu are raw gluten cakes used for cooking), is long, with records showing that it was supplying nama-fu to the Imperial Palace in the Keio era (1865-1868) at the end of the Edo period. The Nishiki store opened around 1980 as a retail store. Production is done at the main store, which takes pride in making fu by hand without relying on machines. Their fish-shaped cakes with sweet bean fillings “Taiyaki fu manju” are now popular as a new type of fu manju dessert.

Konnamonja

This shop opened about 30 years ago under the direct management of Kyo Tofu Fujino, which has existed near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine for about 60 years. Their products include Fujino’s tofu, fried tofu, ganmodoki fried tofu patties, fresh yuba soy milk skin, and other products made in Yosano-cho of the Tango area of Kyoto, which is blessed with abundant water sources in the midst of beautiful nature. In addition, Konnamonja has been working on soy milk sweets since its opening. Especially popular are their soy milk doughnuts and soy milk soft serve ice cream.

Nishiki Daitomo

Merely saying "dry foods shop" does not convey the depth of this store. The store owner says, "You may find what you are looking for," but it would be more appropriate to say, "You may find something you never thought you would find.” You will find everything from food for votive offerings, ingredients for chakaiseki (tea ceremony kaiseki dishes), and Japanese sweets to rare bottled ingredients. Some items are not on display in the store, so feel free to inquire.

Fufusa Rouho

This is a specialty store of Kyoto-style nama-fu (raw cakes of wheat gluten used in cooking. Unlike most fu in Japan that are sold as dried products, in Kyoto, they are often used in the form of soft, chewy cakes.) that manufactures, wholesales, and retails fu at this location. The store dates back to the Tempo era (1831-1845). It sells a variety of fu, including shiro (white), awa (millet), and yomogi (Japanese mugwort). Other products include "fu dengaku" (fu seasoned with dengaku miso) and "fu manju" (an aonori seaweed fu bun filled with red bean paste).

Yubakichi

A sign at the entrance of the store says it was established in Nishiki Market in 1790. Since then, Yubakichi has been dedicated to yuba (soy milk skin). It is the only shop that both sells and produces yuba in Nishiki Market. They have been able to continue to make yuba here because of Nishiki's groundwater, they say. The current owner is the ninth generation since the establishment of the store, and he still stubbornly maintains the store's traditional handmade methods.
