“Our goal is to bring health and happiness to our customers by respecting the Japanese food culture under the theme of ‘seasonal, delicious, and mild,’” they say. “In addition to traditional pickled products such as senmaizuke sliced turnip and suguki turnip, we also offer the ‘Kyo-no-assari-zuke (light Kyoto pickels)’ series, which brings out the flavor of vegetables with less salt than usual, and the ‘Nishiri Labre’ series, which utilizes the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus brevis KB290, abbreviated as ‘Labre,’ discovered in suguki-turnip.”

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.

Nishiki Murasaki

“The roots of this restaurant lie in an oshiruko (sweet bean soup) and noodle store started by my father around 1945. I am committed to delivering the best-tasting food by cherishing the spirit of dedication that was taught to me by my father,” says the owner of Nishiki Murasaki. Drawing on his own experience working at a confectionery store, he now focuses on peanuts, Kyoto sweets, and old-fashioned Japanese sweets. “Every morning we purchase the highest grade peanuts from Enshu (Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), which are freshly roasted, and only enough for that day's sales.”
