Notoyo West
Notoyo West opened in 1963 as the west branch of the river fish specialty shop Notoyo. Their merchandise is exactly the same as that of the main store, but their specialty is kabayaki eel grilled over binchotan charcoal. They use Nishiki's groundwater for everything except washing. Since they sell freshwater fish, Nishiki's groundwater is indispensable to keep them alive. Freshness is the main selling point of their grilled fish.

Ookuniya
Founded in 1912, this river fish shop is famous for its eels. Although the store has a small frontage, its reputation resonates far and wide. They insist on domestic eels from Aichi Prefecture and natural eels from the Seto Inland Sea caught in Kojima Bay, Okayama Prefecture. They are carefully grilled over charcoal with a secret sauce. The store’s fourth-generation owner follows the cooking method handed down for generations.

Yamamoto Banba
Yamamoto Banba specializes in fresh, live river fish. They use Nishiki's underground water to deliver river fish straight to restaurants while they are still swimming. They also focus on making prepared specialty dishes using river fish. Because they process and use live fish, the taste is very delicious. They sell these products, which are made with fresh river fish from Lake Biwa and specially seasoned, in their store and ship them to other parts of Japan.
