I haven't eaten "Kiri Sansho" recently, but when I was a child, I often ate it because my parents bought it when I was in "Bettara City". During the Edo period, Ebisu-ko was held on October 20 at the gate of Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Otemmacho, praying for thriving business. One of the lucky itemss offered at that time is "Kiri Sansho".
"Kiri Sansho" is a simple snack made by steaming a mixture of sugar and pepper juice (or powder) with Kamishin flour, polishing it, and cutting it into claps. Colors are red, white, light blue, light green, etc. It has a feeling like a gyuhi, and it is an adult taste that just contains Sansho.
Suddenly, "Kiri Sansho" suddenly became nostalgic, and when I contacted "Umekatei" in Kodemmacho.
It seems that it will be lined up in stores only during the period of "Betara City".
This year's "Betara City" is Saturday, October 19 and 20 (Sun).
Preparations for "Betara City" are already underway in the town.
Kodemmacho's Meikatei is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it is said that both days are specially open from 8:00 am to night (around 6:00 or 7:00). It is said that "Kiriyamasho" and "Kiri sheepkan" will be sold at stores. It seems that there are no food stalls in Bettara City. Maybe it's possible to sell it on the 18th (Friday).
The main store of "Mekatei" is currently Shinkawa (formerly Reigishima), but the birthplace is Otemmacho-a one-way Ningyocho-dori, which runs next to the current shop, is located near Ningyocho, one block. It seems that the branch is left at the current location because it is the place where the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Otemmacho Branch is located.
Unfortunately, there is still no real photo of this year because the production and sale of "Kiri Sansho" and "Kiri Mushi Sheep Kan" is only during the period of "Betara City".
The photo is a part of the sweets lined up in the shop.
