Tokyojima Market (a variety of specialty products from Izu Islands, Ogasawara)

[kimitaku] 14:00 on April 26, 2013

 The Tokyo Island Market

Take the Tsukiji 4-chome intersection of Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Harumi-dori St. toward Shimbashi, turn left at the next Ichiba Bridge intersection and Namiki-dori Street, and find it on the right hand in front of the former Odabashi.

  The store is open and is still open with the president and staff who have come from Izu-Oshima Island for six months.

 

  The products we sell are products from the islands of Izu. In addition, all of Ogasawara's items are rarely seen in Tokyo.

When you ask, wild plants and fresh fish are lined up depending on the season.

Also, if the ship is canceled due to storms or weather, it will not reach here.

 

 The president is a 300-year-old Kusaya manufacturer in Namiki Port, Izu Oshima.

There are saury dried saury in the store.

 When you ask, you will talk about saury excursions, pointing to the map of Japan on the wall, explaining the flow of the Kuroshio current between Oshima and Toshima Island, and the west wind of winter does not blow Oshima thanks to Izu Peninsula.

 What we arrived by boat today

 Wild plants Then, tomorrow's bamboo shoot kotara no Me

   

 (Dried goods) These are squirrels and murs. 

 Yesterday, the sea was rough on the island and there were no fresh fish.

 (Processed products) Then, I'll see only the things I've seen for the first time, such as Shima pepper seaweed karashi soy sauce island shochu camellia oil.

 For some reason, it seems that people in Chiba will buy seaweed in large quantities.

 Mr. President

 I'd like to take a look at this, and give me a pepper.

 It's hard enough to cry. 

 He said with a smile that this is the taste of the island chili pepper.

 You said the business was hard.

 

 I want you to taste "hard kusaya" by all means.
