京つけもの西利 本店
Nishiri was founded in 1940, when founder Hirai Taro received a noren-wake spin-off from the century-old Nishiri Shoten pickle shop. Its signature senmaizuke is made from thinly sliced Shogoin turnips, pickled one slice at a time to bring out the turnip's delicate flavour. The 'Kyo no assari-zuke' line, launched in 1984, pickles seasonal vegetables lightly in a kelp bed and became a mainstay that opened a new category of Kyoto pickles. Senmaizuke (100 g) costs ¥864 including tax; assari-zuke daikon (quarter cut) ¥496. Upstairs, the AMACO Cafe & Gallery serves sweets and drinks made with lactic-fermented sweet koji (AMACO) and shows work by young artists. The official site has English pages, but the online shop is Japanese only.
