🤗 錦・だいやす

This is a well-known Kyono cuisine restaurant in the market, but just by looking at the name of the restaurant, you would know that oyster cuisine is also the specialty of this restaurant! The oysters are carefully selected from all over Japan, and they are equally delicious in their original flavor or grilled!

Almost everyone passes by this store. The roasted senbei (rice crackers), which are made from 100% Japanese domestic high-quality rice, emit a light aroma of the secret ancestral soy sauce and taste crispy, and many people like to buy a piece of the soy sauce seaweed-flavored senbei and eat it while walking around, and then buy a variety of other flavors, such as Shichimi, Sesame, and Kakiniku as a souvenir for their home!

Do you like to challenge yourself with special flavors rather than sweet and creamy ones? Then you can't go wrong with Shichimi Powder Ice Cream, a famous old store established in Meiji 11!

🤗 麸嘉

If you want to eat traditional Japanese flavors at Kinmart, you should come to Branja. “Bran is made from wheat flour, water, and glutinous rice flour, and has a smooth and creamy texture. One of the most famous dishes at Mukdanga is the Mukdanga Manju, which is a modified version of Mukdango. They mix seaweed into the raw bran, add a sweet red bean filling, and then wrap it in “dumpling leaves” and steam it. When you open the package, you will first smell the aroma, and then you will feel like eating mochi, which is a little bit sticky and a little bit soft, but without losing the mild sweetness.
