“While we are concerned about the various problems that have arisen in recent years, including the problems caused by many people eating and drinking while walking on this extremely crowded street, we will continue to strive to do business in a trustworthy and dignified manner in order to help pass on Japanese food culture, including food customs registered as intangible cultural heritage, and to maintain traditional food production areas in Japan. We look forward to serving you.”

“We carry a wide variety of carefully selected, delicious and safe-to-eat foods, seasonings, and alcoholic beverages, including kombu, eggs, and dried foods such as seaweed and high-quality bonito that we supply to long-established restaurants and caterers in Kyoto.”

“We offer dried bonito flakes, a long-selling product favored by the famous essayist Shige Omura, as well as many other popular dried foods that add color and flavor to your dishes.”
