The characteristic of the furiuri is to walk around to sell mainly raw ingredients, seasonings or ready-made food without carrying a fire, and it was the easiest business to begin among the food business because special technique or knowledge and rights to set up a shop were not required.
振売は火気を持ち歩かず、主に生の食材や調味料、調理済みの食品を売り歩くのが特徴で、食品を扱う商売のなかでも、特別な技術や知識が不要、店を構えるための権利なども不要だったので、いちばん簡単に開業できた。
