川勝總本家

Kawakatsu Sohke began in 1917, when the founder opened a pickle wholesaler in Higashiyama. Gionzuke, its signature, was created in-house in 1929 — a sake-lees and miso recipe whose birth year is recorded on the company history page. The flagship still looks like a Kyoto townhouse, on its present Omiya-Gojo site since 1936; it was the model for a shop in the NHK morning drama Kyo Futari. Behind the Arashiyama shop, a pickle buffet called Kawakatsu opened in October 2026, serving the shop's pickles with rice, miso soup and tea, refills included. Mibuna-flavoured pickles cost ¥626, winter-only senmaizuke ¥918, and Gionzuke turnip ¥1,620.
