The hot summer has come again this year. When you go out in the hot weather, you just get your hands on shaved ice and ice cream.
Ice, as is known in the story of Kaga Domain's ice offering on June 1 (the lunar calendar) during the Edo period, seems to have been eaten only by noble people. After the Meiji Restoration, he moved to Yokohama, and in Tokyo in 1872 (1872), Hakodate's natural ice was sent to the ice room in Shintomi-cho and sold to citizens. It seems that artificial ice was founded in 1883 (1883), when an ice making company was established in Shinsakaemachi, Kyobashi Ward. ("History of Chuo-ku")
Ice cream was introduced by foreigners at the end of the Tokugawa period, and in 1869, a person named Fuzo Machida opened an ice shop on Bashamichi Street in Yokohama, and sold it with a banner called "Aisukurin". ("Milk and Japanese") However, it seems that foreigners rarely stopped by and suffered a great loss. The ice cream was sold to the general public around 1879 and 13 (1879, 80) at Hakodateya in Ginza, and "Chuo-ku Fumishita" said it was probably the first shop in Japan.
Shin Okura (1831-?), the owner of the Hakodate shop, is said to be the former Owari clansman, and is the remnant party of Hakodate Goryokaku, who fought according to Takeaki Enomoto. In 1876 (1876), Mount Fuji was formed at 2-9 Hiya, Owari-cho, Kyobashi-ku (now around 6-9-7 Ginza). (Roan Uchida's "Ginza Prosperity", Shogetsu Yamamoto's "100 episodes of Meiji Seso") He was said to be a strange man and famous man in Ginza in an unexpected Australian language of customers, such as a drum belly like a beer barrel, wearing clogs on clothes, etc. Was Roan Uchida says that the presence of a grandfather at Hakodateya is proud of Ginza, and that the disappearance of the store is even the loss of Ginza.
The grandson of Shindaizo is actor Kinzo Shin (1910-1988). He has been active as a famous supporting role for a long time and has appeared in many movies and TVs. He is a graduate of Yasuaki Elementary School. His writing, "Genso Ice Cream Hakodateya", states, "Grandpa borrowed money from Takeaki Enomoto and opened Hakodateya," "How to make ice cream from a Frenchman of the Shogunate adviser during the Hakodate War. I got it. " By the way, what was the taste of the ice cream at Hakodateya? I'm writing this.
"My misfortune is that ice cream grew up thinking that the house is the best, so I still can't afford the ice cream at any shop and I can't feel like eating it."
The graves of the Hakodate family and Kinzo Shin are located in Yanaka Cemetery.
