“I can't introduce something I haven't eaten,” the owner says. He makes sure to eat the produce he sells to become knowledgeable about it. Conversation at the storefront, the point of contact between people, is the crux of this kind of business, so the owner makes sure to have a knowledgeable person standing in the shop. He says that the staff in the storefront will always be a personable veteran greengrocer, so people should feel free to ask any questions they may have.

“Founded in 1955, we have been a fruit and vegetable shop for 65 years. We have two main lines of business: wholesaling to ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) and retailing to customers at the store.”

They mainly deal in kyo-yasai (Kyoto vegetables), greenhouse vegetables (for pickles, garnishes, and spicy vegetables), and fruits.
A knowledgeable greengrocer can provide the fine quality produce that Nishiki-dori shoppers expect.
