Kyo Tsukimachian West

This shop specializes in an unusual pastry called "Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” "Anesu" is based on the sound of a Portuguese word for baked sweets. It is actually a word that has been used for a long time in Japan, although not many people are familiar with it. The ingredients are flour, sugar, and eggs. The surface is baked to a smooth firmness, and the face of Daruma (a Buddhist saint) and the word "fuku," meaning "good luck," are branded on it. Hence, “Fuku-Daruma Anesu.” The texture is crispy, like a Japanese "bolo" cookie, which also happens to be derived from a Portuguese pastry.

Kimura

The variety and quantity of fish lined up in the shop is a sight to behold, which makes it no surprise that this is one of the oldest stores in Nishiki Market, dating back to the Genna era (1615-1624) in the Edo period. Because they purchase fish in large quantities for wholesale to ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) and caterers, the retail price to the general public is also very reasonable. You can enjoy at home the same high-quality fish as those served at ryotei and other high-end restaurants.
