 “Tokyo Island Market”

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

  The shop is open with the president and staff who came from Izu-Oshima Island for half a year after opening.

 

  What we sell is a product from the islands of Izu. In addition, all Ogasawara's items are rarely seen in Tokyo.

When you ask, it is said that 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 at Izu Oshima Haki Port.

There are saury dried saury in the store.

 I asked you to talk about the migration of Sanma, pointing to a map of Japan on the wall, explaining the flow of the Kuroshio Current between Oshima and Toshima Island, and that the west wind in winter does not blow Oshima thanks to Izu Peninsula.

 What arrived by boat today

 (Yamana) Then, tomorrow's bamboo shoots

   

 (Dried fish) These include flying fish and whisper of white horse mackerel. 

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

 (processed products) So, the island chili seaweed karashi soy sauce island shochu camellia oil, etc., I just saw it for the first time.

 It seems that people in Chiba Prefecture buy a lot of seaweed for some reason.

 Why don't you take this to me a chili pepper?

 It's so spicy that tears come out. 

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

 He said that he would like him to taste "hard kusaya".
