    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Naka Chojamachi Dori Shinmachi Nishi Iru Nakanocho 292
    A white walled storehouse with a classic Kyoto townhouse appearance. This soy sauce shop is easily marked by the large wooden signboard standing by the entrance. It's a long-standing store that has been making soy sauce with a focus on domestic ingredients and traditional tools and techniques ever since its establishment in 1879. Recommended is their Whole Soybean Twice Aged Soy Sauce in which soybeans and wheat are added to finished pure soy sauce and allowed to ferment a second time. Their two-year fermented soy sauce is perfect not just for fish or meat dishes but for any meal that you want to give a deeper flavor. Their products are sold in glass bottles to prevent a changing of flavor.

    The Honda Miso main store is an old miso shop dating back from the Tenpo period and is located along Ichijo-dori Street on the west side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The famous Saikyo light-brown miso is just 5% salt—the lowest among misos—and is a great miso option for those concerned about salt intake. Up until the Edo period they focused on miso for the imperial court only, but from the Meiji period they opened to more general sales. While obstinately protecting the techniques, they have cultivated over many years, they also respond to the changes of the time and the motto “immutability and fluidity” goes into the making of miso even today.

    毎回京都に来るたびに利用します。今回はお味噌以外にもお醤油やふりかけも買ってみました。やっぱり白味噌が1番好きかな〜。宿泊していたホテルに近いので便利です。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
