It is not overstating to say that it is possible to obtain almost any kind of food needed in order to make Kyoto cuisine here: Kyoto vegetables called traditional vegetables, Kyoto pickles, tofu, yuba (soy-milk skin), fu (wheat-gluten bread), eel, tsukudani (preserved food boiled down in soy sauce), kamaboko (boiled fish paste), dried fish, dried goods, tea, confectionery, bread, sushi, and so on.
そのほか伝統野菜とも呼ばれる京野菜、京漬物・豆腐やゆば・麩・ウナギ・佃煮・蒲鉾・干物・乾物などから茶・菓子・パン・寿司まで京料理の食材はほとんどここで揃うといっても過言ではない。
