Masugo North

  • pickles

The shop’s name is derived from the sake brewing business that they operated in the mid-Edo period(1603-1867) in Nishikyogoku, Kyoto. The current business of producing and selling Kyoto pickles began in 1930. They have three shops in Nishiki Market, and this store, the North Shop, features everyday products such as sweet-and-spicy takuan radish and pickled mibuna green, fermented products such as white miso, and commercial products for restaurants, hotels, and ryokan (Japanese-style inns).

They offer not only traditional pickles but also new, creative products such as asazuke (lightly pickled vegetables) that can be eaten like a salad. Pickles are evolving to meet the changing times and customer needs.

A great deal of efforts is made to season the pickles while preserving the natural flavors of the vegetables.
Wrapping salmon roe or loin ham in senmai-zuke turnip pickles makes a stylish hors d'oeuvre.
