Takakuraya is located two doors down from the pickle shop Nishiki Takakuraya in Nishiki Market. This restaurant offers freshly cooked Koshihikari rice from Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, hearty miso soup with a variety of ingredients, delicious pickles, and side dishes to go with rice and sake. This restaurant opens at 6:00 a.m.; you can enjoy the market atmosphere here while having breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

“Takakuraya is a place where you can enjoy side dishes that go well with rice and sake,” they say. “Takakuraya aims to be a market-like, energetic restaurant with lots of delicious food. The morning set of draft beer with a small dish and a small assortment of Kyoto pickles is also popular.”

The morning set meal. This day it was kampachi (greater amberjack) sashimi and miso soup with summer vegetables. The plate for soy sauce designed to look like a shogi (Japanese chess) piece is charming.

Both the set meals and the alcoholic drinks come with a small assortment of Kyoto pickles. This savory addition is just right for a drink or a bowl of rice.
