Corocoroco Nishiki

Korokoroko sounds so cute!!! The expression Korokoro is used as a mimetic word when some round or cubic objects are rolling on a road, table, slope, or something. But why is it Korokoroko not Korokorokoro? It is a mystery. I regard it one of the seven mysteries in Kyogo.
By the way this shop is akin to nearby Marun. In this Nishiki market some similar shops stand side by side. I always wonder whether they compete with each other.
This shop is smaller than Marun, but worth visiting, as it has very cozy atmosphere. They also provides some sweets and small articles similar to Marun.
As for sweets, various colors of confeito or small candies made by crystallizing sugar around a poppy-​seed core are placed in a glass bottle or fried dough cookies called Karinto are provided. There are two types of Karinto, one of carrot taste and the other is ordinary one. Both of them were on sale, half-​price down. The durable period of the carrot type expired the next day, but I bought one. This is because the female shop clerk told me the truth honestly. Both samples were placed in front of the goods. One was put on a plate which can be obtained in a Miyako Odori (dancing performance of Maiko in spring or autumn). I understood that the plate has a design of a dumpling. Both of them were yummy, but the ordinary one is a little hard to bite. The carrot type is thin and small, so it is easy to have.
As for small articles, I was interested in pet bottle cloth wrappers and toothpick cloth cases, both of them are retro and decent, very Japan-​like.
Paper bags wrapping the goods are also cute. A back sight of Maiko is written on it. I became a fan of this shop. Whenever I hang about Nishiki market, I never fail to drop in here.
